I'll take that bet.
Banks get bailed out because if confidence in the banking system disappears and everyone tries to withdraw their money at once, the whole economy seizes up. And whoever is Treasury Secretary (usually an ex Wall Street person) is happy to do it.
I don't see OpenAI having the same argument about systemic risk or the same deep ties into government.
Even in a bank bailout, the equity holders typically get wiped out. It's really not that different from a bankruptcy proceeding, there's just a whole lot more focus on keeping the business itself going smoothly. I doubt OpenAI want to be in that kind of situation.
