Now I'm curious: does this situation classify as force-majeure for a major firms? "Hey, you know, actually our entire consumer base just disappeared overnight. Crazy, huh?". And will various governments have to intervene to save them when/if that happens.
Not taking into account that they all be busy handing money to openAI, at least someone somewhere has to notice that something is very wrong.
One has to hope OpenAI goes bankrupt and they flood the market with used RAM sticks at bargain bin price.
