They asked chatGPT for a business plan and it gave them hallucinations and half a business plan for a non-profit coalmining organization.
That or they have worked out that even if AGI is achievable with the current architecture the existence of R1 and other Chinese models essentially means they will never make a profit at it.

Probably an emergent structure out of a chain of thought
