Effectively infinite. Databricks is a good example. They're still private after 13 years and closed a Series L round last year. Stripe is similar. Having been through an IPO before, it was good for employee liquidity, but bad for the culture and long-term success of the company.

so how do stripe employees get liquidity? can anyone sell their secondary shares?

Private/secondary markets.

What do they then need another $65B for? To sell 200$ plans that cost them 1000$ to fullfill. I can have $47B in revenue if I sell something that cost $80B to produce ez pz.

Revenue is not profit.

How? OpenAI and Antrophic are basically the Big 2 racing away at light speed; the others who can't get near them are perhaps shaky & vulnerable. And sure, there's a garden full of those.

Because the market almost certainly can’t support two foundation model labs given the increasingly little difference across models and the massive sums of cash required to keep it all going. There is no big 2, just a race to survive and be the big 1.

Disagree, both are coexisting fine today.

It probably can't support any because there's no moat and smaller, open source models are catching up. This is like investing $1T into mainframe computers in 1980.

That announcement is a bit short on details. I suppose that, like in the previous rounds, there are some strings attached and they'll not get all of it at once.

Hynix is participating with a new circular deal. Hynix is also valued at $1 trillion now, which is positively insane.

This scam will implode harder that the housing bubble.
