I'm looking for an alternative spelling of "pact"... how about "oligopoly" or "cartel"?

Eventually OpenAI will have to commit to one, corporate polyamory never works out

Lots of nonprofits work with multiple corporations, and OpenAI is a nonpfff—

Sorry, I can’t say that without corpsing.

At least you managed to get through saying Open without doing so.

It’s open, as in “open your pocketbook”.

otoh, isn't this just an industry consortium

Yep. See Linux Foundation and sub-foundations.

"Contract. I am thou, thou art I."

(at the risk of explaining the joke: it's darkly hilarious that the AI bubble has multiple established corporations, by all outward appearances, diving headlong into their chuuni arc)

Is this a Persona reference, or am I too young...

Yeah, that's what I was going for. More specifically, in my head it sounded like Necronomicon calling out to Futaba, and I almost included that part before deciding it was too much ("The forbidden wisdom has been revealed. No mysteries, no illusions shall deceive you any longer.").

But of course, that exchange occurs in her own personal corner of the Metaverse(/Omniverse). It arguably only counts because she turns out to be on the winning team. Perhaps that's also a metaphor for the AI bubble.

"conglomerate" would be a good fit.

Note who Apple sent - a marketing guy.
