> trying to make themselves too big to fail

this is super overblown. what their executive said was that eventually the scale of compute required is so large, that it requires not only investing in new DCs, but new fabs, power plants, etc, which can only happen if there is implicit government support to guarantee 10+ year investment horizons required for the lower level of capital investment. that is not controversial at all and has nothing to do with OpenAI specifically being too big to fail.
