OpenAI setup a multi-million deal to buy chips from Altman-backed company

This is a poor plagiarism of a much more detailed Wired article <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;story&#x2F;openai-buy-ai-chips-startup-sam-altman&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;story&#x2F;openai-buy-ai-chips-startup-sam-...</a> which is also much clearer than OP about what parts would raise concerns: Rain touting the Altman connection heavily despite its minimal results and apparent inability to convince anyone else to so much as write a letter of intent, and the highly unusual divestment orders suggesting some very unsavory connections, which get added to the big pile of other concerns about Altman. (See what _Time_ has reported today: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=38550240">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=38550240</a> )

The headline makes it sound like is not entirely ethical, and then I remember reading “Before OpenAI, Altman was asked to leave by his mentor [Paul Graham] at the prominent start-up incubator Y Combinator, part of a pattern of clashes that some attribute to his self-serving approach”[0]<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.washingtonpost.com&#x2F;technology&#x2F;2023&#x2F;11&#x2F;22&#x2F;sam-altman-fired-y-combinator-paul-graham&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.washingtonpost.com&#x2F;technology&#x2F;2023&#x2F;11&#x2F;22&#x2F;sam-alt...</a>

It seems the big takeaway tech executives took from WeWork wasn&#x27;t that it was wrong but that that self-dealing is okay as long as you have enough leverage to get away with it.<p>It&#x27;s pretty clear now this is the reason that Altman got fired in the first place.

&gt; Altman personally invested $1 million in the company<p>The company has taken $32.1M total

The setup is a deal or they set something up? Please revise to &quot;set up&quot; if the char limit is OK

Hope the chips are good. They need as many gpus and specialized AI chips as they can get.

I mean, this guy who has a track record of conflicts of interest, was just shown that it&#x27;s ok to exploit his conflicts of interest as long as others also get rich.
