OpenAI is not worth $860B to anyone other than to the companies hoping to inflate their own valuations by selling it goods and services, at least until OpenAI inevitably goes to zero and its assets are acquired for substantially less than $30B. It simply does not cost $30B to build an OpenAI competitor and the opportunity cost of building one also isn't approaching $30B (unless one accounts for the stock hit from investor FOMO over such a delay, as, for example, Apple knows all too well).

If OpenAI were one of many companies generally promoting the increased use of GPUs in industry, thereby developing the market that nVidia operates in, that would be one thing, but $30B, to one company, that then gets spent on nVidia purchases? Just, No. nVidia will get into a lot of trouble for doing this kind of deal that undermines confidence in the entire stock market.
