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.
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.
For the evaluation OpenAI and its investors would target, they would need pretty great ones. But another thing is that they’d also need to look good relative to anthropic, who is also looking at an IPO.
Not sure if their plan for it has changed,but OpenAI would always be measured against them. And my understanding is that anthropic is said to have better financials while having raised less investment money so far.
There is only so much liquidity for IPOs and SpaceX already vacuumed up a lot. If both openai and and anthropic would IPO as an option for investors to buy into a pure play, I assume everyone would compare the two and go for the perceived winner (or want a good discount for the second best)
This is what we get for Musk keeping Trump balls warm. Probably the same reason we see Tesla back with the majority of US EV sales. Fuckin racket. If the spacex and grok deal wasnt a thing the other players might have a chance to have some skin in the IPO game. Yes, yes, why sympathize for these corporate monsters, I heard you already. Just raving about politics.
It’s got nothing to do with safety, he doesn’t have the numbers to go public and is trying to mask that.

There’s no way Dario really believes this. He knows “AI safety” is the only way to keep the hype train going; otherwise the bubble pops immediately.

What kind of numbers do they need?
Revenue growth that suggests a path to profitability would be a start.
