Norway Should Buy OpenAI

lol can't tell if this is serious

And everyone should just get along. And software should just work perfectly. And everything should be free.

What's the point of writing something like this? Surely the writer isn't delusional enough to actually expect this to affect state leadership decision-making?

I stopped reading when I saw "Social-Democracy" and Palestine in the article.

Why try to tank Norwegian pensions by having them buy OpenAI before the LLM capital expenditure bubble bursts? 8-\

"Teacher, teacher! I think that Norway should buy all the weapons in the world and then we wouldn't have any more wars."

How can somebody put their own name on something so infantile as this article? What influence does this author or any of you think you have over the Norwegian sovereign fund?

Norway can’t buy OpenAI since it’s not GDPR compliant.

Wow, this is the dumbest thing I've read in the whole year, but I love that the internet should give a voice to anybody and everybody and would defend this right to (perhaps) death.

Author seems to have read on a magazine or something that Norway's Pension Fund assets amount to ~2 trillion US, which he confuses for having 2 trillion US cash but you cannot really expect much from room temperature IQ.

Then, just because 2,000B US > 800B US, he goes on to propose that Norway should buy it ... that's it, that's the whole argument.

Then he elaborates with some of the most deranged ideas I've read like (taken verbatim):

"Such an intervention would clearly be blocked by the United States government, though if the Nobel Peace Prize Committee awards Trump the bauble then perhaps there will be an opening of political possibility."

As if Norway would even be remotely interested in acquiring that company anyway.

according to my understanding, this would (necessarily) include relocation of all OAI stuff to .. somewhere in Europa? (regardless if this "somewhere" is FR or UK or IT or DE or CH))

I do not see any chance that this may happen
