Ilya will literally have a blank check from almost all the VC's in the industry.

>>htrp+r4
Most of the VCs have already spent their money in the last couple of years.

So he may have a blank check but not nearly enough to build an OpenAI competitor.

Would love to see him at IBM with full use of their quantum systems.

Lol no. There is about ~$500B in VC dollars, not to mention $1.2T in buyout dry powder still floating around. Not to mention venture funds raised continue to grow YoY.

I was referring more specifically to the AI segment.

Many of the VCS are over-exposed and still need to have funds to cover follow-on investments in the space. Not buying that there is the widespread appetite to fund a multi-billion new startup like there was a year or two ago.

Some sources are needed to back those claims up. Which VCs are you talking about?
