You're assuming it'll continue on that path, and well.

Personally I think this is where they'll end up stagnating, although I'm happy to be wrong. It's going to make recruiting top talent far harder, and ultimately this hiccup will cause them to lose their edge. Losing that edge lessens the desire to go there, which will drive down competitiveness, which will further pull them back from the fray. I believe it'll make the US less competitive, which makes me sad.

Hard to say what the impact on access to talent will be. I know people working in AI that wouldn't consider working at OpenAI out of perceived recklessness. At least one that I've been speaking with during this weekend said that this made them more open to the idea.
