OpenAI Founder Opposes Government Guarantees for Data Centers
The founder of OpenAI stated that they do not seek government guarantees for data centers and believe the government should not support winners or penalize losers. They emphasized that taxpayers should not bear the cost of companies that make poor business decisions or fail in the market. The founder also noted that if a company fails, others will continue to do the work. However, they support government investment in AI infrastructure for public benefit, potentially at a lower capital cost.
