Anonymousabout 7 hours ago

OpenAI closed the largest private funding round in history at $122 billion, pushing its valuation to $852 billion, with anchor investments from Amazon, Nvidia, and SoftBank. Early backers like Khosla Ventures and Reid Hoffman realized returns exceeding 30x and 140x respectively, while the company simultaneously acquired tech talk show TBPN for hundreds of millions of dollars — a move that drew sharp criticism about narrative control even as OpenAI projects $111 billion in additional cash burn through 2030.
