    Even if openai tanked tomorrow it would just be bought by Microsoft and become copilot AI.

    The failure of the company is bad for current investors but it’s not a public company and as others have mentioned there is not yet enough instability in the rest of the industry. Google is still trucking along without issue even if they don’t make the news and people are still giving Muse access to all their shit.

      It’s not that simple, as:

      • Other companies/institutions have heavy investments in OpenAI.

      • Other companies’ expected long-term revenue depends on OpenAI.

      • They are the “face” of LLMs to finance world. If they tank, the illusion shatters, and investments pulls out of “AI” everywhere.

      I agree that Google, Meta, the companies will be fine, as you said. Nvidia/AMD will be fine. Even XAI will be fine. The physical companies and their business aren’t going anywhere.

      But their stocks will drop precipitously, and drag others into the rut with them like a black hole.
