Subject:: Re: Q3 2017 Grant

For now I have held off on the quarterly $5M. Continue to hold? [Forwarded message from Chris Clark (OpenAI) to Jared Birchall, Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 12:32 PM, subject "Q3 2017 Grant":] Hi Jared, I just wanted to check in re: Q3 2017 grant. The compute payment covering what we used for the Dota project ( the one that got all the press a couple weeks ago) will likely be due in Sept, so I wanted to double check on timing. Thanks, Chris
