So now that value is just shifted into the companies that were going to purchase from openai.
It would just hurt the investors who have exposure to openai/anthropic/google/microsoft.

Although the government could be stupid and bail out these companies which WOULD hurt all us citizens and the inflation caused by money printing due to that could cause a recession.
