    It’s got nothing to do with safety, he doesn’t have the numbers to go public and is trying to mask that.

      Ya, these are the people who absolutely gave zero fucking shits about safety up until the point they realized they couldn’t hand off the bag to the public.

      My $0.02 is that Dario genuinely believes* this, Sam doesn’t, but it’s convenient for OpenAI to hitch its wagon to Anthropic’s call for regulation because their financials are a mess.

      • just because his belief is genuine doesn’t mean it’s reasonable. I find the whole thing kind of laughable actually.

    They can’t go public.

    I bet they end up merging or being bought long before they’re actually ready to go public.

      They can’t go public.

      I think that rising interest rates (e.g. by the ECB) because of more expensive oil and empty national reserves wouldn’t make that easier.

    Hahaha, AI hype has already reached and past its peak, the best time to do an ipo for them is today, second best time would be tomorrow.

    Sure it might be here to stay, but the gold rush FOMO phase is over.

    what they are really saying, especially with the “slow down china bad” rhetoric is just temporally advanced from stuff Adam Smith wrote about, long ago: they cannot keep up and are crying to the powers so shareholders are protected

    Hilarious… I guess this pushes back the inevitable bubble collapse (probably until just after they do go public)

    The guy goes fuzzball on telling everyday AI is going to kill us all, then “well I can’t IPO, people are afraid”?

    Well, guess what my little boy, what did you expect?

    Sam, we don’t believe you, you make no sense at all, you liar piece of shit.

    BUUUUULLLLSHIT. He just doesn’t want to answer honestly to shareholders. The product is a scammy money pit propped up by tissue paper and the confoolery of our liar and chief.

    what i heard was that ai companies now push for regulation to legitimize themselves in front of the law. that saves ai companies from the state being like “yea the party’s up we stop this and crack down on it”

    same happened to bitcoin.

    but idk shit :)
