It boggles the mind what OpenAI could possibly do with all this money.

They want to build several 5 GW data centers. (equivalent to the power consumption of a major city)

$8.3B is not even close to enough in order to get to what they are thinking.

I mean, they can burn it all up in a fire in a few months. xAI loses $1 billion per month, so this round would be an 8 month runway for that company. OpenAI loses $2 for every $1 it brings in, but perhaps they're only losing $500M/mo, so maybe this $8b could last them more than a year...
