Let me emphasize once again that if you’re inclined toward “no deal is possible with these guys” then trying to make a reasonable deal and getting this reaction demonstrates that far better than just asserting it and refusing to try would have.

There is no such thing as a simple electrical job, it will always take at least four hours and involve you discovering a new exciting thing about your house and a trip to a hardware store, even taking into account everything you learned from last time.

Altogether, OpenAI has now promised $1T in purchases in deals with AMD, Nvidia, and Oracle.
