“'There's a real intent to do this, but the details haven't been fleshed out,' said another person involved in the project. ‘People want to do splashy things in the first week of Trump being in office.’” [embedded post]

What if China figures out a way to do this for $31.7 Million? Is it really a great idea to commit to $500B spend just for OpenAI if it turns out the OpenAI approach is a white elephant?
