It’s got nothing to do with safety, he doesn’t have the numbers to go public and is trying to mask that.
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.
More likely its because they need more time to cook their books.
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.
Reminder: none of the AI industry is remotely based in reality.

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
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.
Hilarious… I guess this pushes back the inevitable bubble collapse (probably until just after they do go public)
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.
Is this a concession of defeat to spaceX
I’m waiting for the movie.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt37171180/He is suggesting we slow everything down until he works out how the Chinese are Chinesing.
I hear a lot about AI safety. What, precisely, is unsafe about AI that is unique to AI?
shareholders losing value when another country they did not invest in taking over. you know that “market and invisible hand”
I almost believe it’s related. It sounds like the left are up in arms over AI not because of safety but because of money. If they would be more specific about safety, maybe people would listen.
safety is a red herring. capitalism is always going to eschew safety in the name of profit, no matter the industry. there is no difference here with ai. just assume the corps to be unsafe with it.
the problem is actually that the corps want the world to “slow down” so they can catch up; “for safety” is just marketing.
From a technical point of view? It’s just software. If you give a software with semi-random outputs access to control external tools, it will do semi-random stuff and could cause harm. And since the people that loves these little runner also likes to run hundreds of them concurrently, with the ability to spawn more, they can cause harm real fast with no oversight.
If you don’t give them uncontrolled access to anything though? Not much harm in that. But it’s harder to sell the “this is the future of everything” if you put pesky things like checks and limited capabilities for the sake of safety.
So, nothing unique to AI, except the scale of it.
