The NVIDIA-OpenAI fiasco is not about computing power, but about control

In the AI industry, there is currently little talk of anything other than NVIDIA and OpenAI. Not because anything fundamental has changed in terms of official commitments, but because the sheer scale of this partnership overshadows the entire market.
