Similar to @dominic's question, but with a greater value and a longer time horizon.
Doesn't have to be a single round, a cumulative amount would also count as long as it's associated with a single entity.
From their question (change the amount to 5 trillion and the timeframe to the end of 2025):
A Wall Street Journal article claims that Sam Altman is attempting to raise between 5 and 7 trillion dollars for a new chip-based project: https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/sam-altman-seeks-trillions-of-dollars-to-reshape-business-of-chips-and-ai-89ab3db0
This is about 30% of US GDP, which is a lot of money. Will Sam have raised at least 1 trillion for something by the end of 2024? Doesn't count if the money is just generically for OpenAI, there has to be some new project that is being funded.
@AlQuinn Sam Altman is a literal god. What makes you think your mana can get in the way of him absorbing the global GDP?
@12c498e actually:
1) I didn't take a position on this question
2) I meant that as a compliment (there are too few people who really think big; many of them are insane but some will do great things while being insane [Musk])
@Bayesian I think there are some situations in which this would make sense, but I doubt we are currently in one of those.
