Are you telling me that the investors who give sama $trillions don't expect influence on the final product?

Isn't this the definition of soft power? [0]

When NVIDIA sells GH200s to OpenAI, they expect nothing beyond the transaction. That's very different from getting trillions of dollars in investment from somebody to build chip fabs, etc.
