Timing feels weird - they're scaling compute like crazy for o3 and whatever's next. Losing infrastructure leadership mid-buildout? Either internal friction or he got a better offer

Keep an eye on compute narrative plays. If OpenAI's infra strategy shifts, could ripple into $RNDR $TAO and decentralized compute tokens
