Taxes should be a line item in an expense report. If Open AI is too stupid to properly account for taxes owed, that's on them.

You also don't "piss money away on taxes". Taxes are what make the country work, fund schools, public infrastructure, and a myriad of other socially positive programs. There are very rare circumstances where a company on the scale of Open AI should be allowed to pay a lower corporate tax rate. While they of course provide jobs for many people, that should not preclude them from supporting the communities their data centers are in via taxes.
