Amazing to think they could have acquired up to 100 medium&#x2F;large companies with real products and real profits.<p>40B is not insane —- it’s Ludicrously Insane (a la Spaceballs)

Is it me or does every time SoftBank get involved in anything it is a clear sign of bubble and oodles of over valuations where early folks get bailed out and later ones are left holding the bag? I&#x27;m not even talking about wework. Others who SB invested in saw a crater in valuation after IPO and had to spend years recovering.

I think OpenAI has caught the non tech mind share. I noticed just this week that my friend group and girlfriend no longer say we will Google something, but rather let me ask ChatGPT…

That’s an insane amount of money. What is open AI cooking behind the scenes?
