Some of the Spacecraft companies are interesting, and they largely do very different things so don't directly compete. Blacksky, Maxar, Planet etc.

SpaceX bringing down the cost of putting things into orbit, even moreso with Starship, should actually be good for these companies.

I absolutely would not invest in any launch company other than SpaceX though. Not even Rocketlab, which I think will survive but not do crazy well.

Keep in mind, renting a space and staffing an event aren't cheap. Most of these companies don't have a presence in Vegas so they are flying in everyone from the interns setting up the booth to the execs that are there to get face time with other rich dudes.

Like every other tech company, they are also looking for ways to save money. If there wasn't a very clear ROI on the event, it isn't going to get approved.

Oh man I can see this getting expensive for them

good fucking luck, I found someone who leaked a bunch of personal information of mine on GitHub and despite me giving GitHub multiple forms of ID to confirm who I am, linking to it multiple times and examining in detail why they should take it down I've spent the past week getting canned "sorry, nothing :)" responses from support

This ban has nothing to do with AI as a technology, and nothing to do with AI at all. This is a temporary ban because openAI, as a company, does not handle users private data (the data it collects from users who are using chatgpt, not the AI training data) in a GDPR compliant way.

They also broke GDPR in regards to informing users what personal data of theirs was impacted in a security breach that openAI had recently.

While Italy is more aggressive in chasing down GDPR violations than most other EU countries, openAI should get their data handling into compliance, because the current product they sell (and by product, I once again am not talking about the AI model itself, but the chatgpt platform through which registered users can use it), is technically breaking the law EU-wide.
