> OpenAI has to pay a monopolist for hardware acceleration and beholden to another tech giant for data centers.

Don't they have a data center in progress as we speak? Seems by now they're planning on building not just one huge data center in Texas, but more in other countries too.

Well that data center is just going to be full of Nvidia GPUs hence "pay to monopolist" part.

Guess the part I put in quotes should have had a "or" instead of "and" there.
