Probably my favourite passage. This is different from Bitcoin Treasury Companies right? Totally different yes just as I thought.

Excerpt: AMD will give OpenAI warrants entitling it to buy up to 10 per cent of the company for just a cent a share, depending on their project hitting certain targets, including some linked to AMD's share price.
AMD shares were worth nearly $204 when markets closed on Monday. If they keep rising, OpenAI could sell its stock to fund its spending on AMD's chips.
"It's a pretty innovative structure, which didn't come lightly,'
" AMD chief executive Lisa
Su said on Monday.

Also below the text a pic of Sam Altman looking like the fifth member of Hot Chip.
