I hope this is not a serious argument. This deal is OOM larger than other deals

The line imo is the amount of DRAM OpenAI actually needs/can use. If they end up piling some of it in a warehouse just so nobody else can use it, lock em up.

Do they actually have the cash to buy all of this RAM? If not then it should be very illegal.

There's no need to make it illegal: it doesn't happen because the companies with the RAM to sell are motivated by profit. The problem is that OpenAI has plenty of money to buy RAM. They raised $40 billion in April.
