Within the part of the menswear industry that I operate in, Roopa Knitting Mills is widely regarded as one of the best hoodie manufacturers. Founded in 1991 by an Indian immigrant named Nat Thakkar, they do every production step after yarn spinning in Ontario, Canada.

What OpenAI is really after is cheap Canadian energy and abundant water supply. That is it. It has no interest in funding the development of competing AI models.
