What would happen to the AI sector if OpenAI failed?

Researcher and AI skeptic Ed Zitron has cautioned that an OpenAI collapse might spark a financial disaster comparable to the 2008 Lehman Brothers crash. He stated that OpenAI is the primary driver behind the current interest in artificial intelligence. Zitron further noted that if the company were to go under, the reasoning for investing trillions of dollars in capital expenditure would disappear.
