Yeah no, man, that's slumberland territory.

No, what GP was saying is "Let's spend 13 billion to save the future revenue from OpenAI and many other customers"
The $100 million bill is bait. Paying it would significantly weaken OAI's legal stance and directly invite a lawsuit, that they would lose.
I think they would lose the lawsuit now, but it's at least a question. It's possible they could out-spend huggingface and win.

It's not like they didn't get anything of value for that 13 billion
Did you miss the "existential" part? It's not about the cost of one lawsuit, it's about the possibility of being held responsible for what one's agents do - something that could pop the ai bubble and crash nvda.
The line of thinking is not about that $100 million bill, it’s about all the $100 million bills that come AFTER this first one.
