Though Valve's collaboration with OpenAI on Dota 2 was known to those who played the game at the time, it's news to me that Gabe Newell contributed $20M to OpenAI, as seen in Musk v. Altman. He was named a "primary donor" between 2015 and 2020.

Speaking of Newell, he recently appeared in a promo for one of his superyachts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxY1OJk9sS8 #GabeNewell #Valve #Steam
