OpenAI CEO Sam Altman controls 8.7 percent of Reddit, I wonder if he values the $$$s of the Google deal or is pissed as a Google rival: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/reddit-files-ipo-sam-altman-newhouse-family-investors-1235833080/
Assuming that OpenAI hasn't already scraped Reddit data and used it to train their transformers without having to pay.
This is probably calculated, if any one company got all the AI power right now they could get busted up as a monopoly, why take the risk when your in bed with the competition anyway.
