That's a valid business model if some company acquired them in the end.

That is not business model. And the acquisition thing can happen when much larger companies who see you as competition to squash exist.

Microsoft will acquire OpenAI for $15B and Google will acquire Anthropic for $10B; the smaller ones will get acquired by Meta, Oracle etc.

Their debts will be passed on to USA/EU population.

Employees will not get to exercise their stock options, but will have some great stories to tell. Somehow RAM will not get cheaper.

Then a new hype wave starts all over.

It's literally the business model of a ton of tech companies including most of YC I bet, the author seems to live under a rock?

Yes, a ton of companies don't have a valid business model. That doesn't make it a good idea for OpenAI either.
