Submission + - No OpenAI IPO this Year (reuters.com)

locater16 writes: "OpenAI will not go public in 2026, Chief Executive Sam Altman said in remarks published on Saturday, citing safety concerns over artificial intelligence that render "unacceptable" even a 10% risk that AI could cause human extinction by decade's end... "I actually think that, given everything happening with safety, right now would be an ill-advised moment to go public, and we don't feel pressure on that," Altman told business magazine Fortune."

While Altman and other AI model company executives have been talking up "safety" concerns, there has been no mention of other AI model questions, such as multiple mathematicians accusing OpenAI of stealing their work and claiming it as their own, a charge OpenAI excuses rather denies in any way. Nor that spending billions of dollars a quarter to develop new AI models has made AI model companies like OpenAI deeply unprofitable, not traditionally a sales pitch seen in major IPOs.

"Frontier" models trained on everyone else's data, according to the companies that made them it's perfectly legal. Thus it's perfectly legal to train off those same models, obeying terms of service and robots.txt is as perfectly optional for US open models as it is for these supposedly trillion dollar companies. Train away until it's actually as open source and free as in Linux and I never have to hear about Sam fucking Altman ever again.

"Definitely, that's... that's what we're doing. We definitely didn't vastly over promise investors that we could replace all of humanity within a few years and are scared they'll sue us and win when they find out that was bullshit. Nope, not what happened. We're doing this deliberately, of our own free will. No suing."

Comment The Proof is Stolen (Score 4, Insightful) 97

Someone in the company more or less admitted it was stolen from the original authors by trying to bully the actual authors into accepting 'partial credit'". It's unshocking to hear OpenAI will steal anything and everything you throw into and then claim that stolen property as its own publicly, but more or less just admitting that publicly in such a high profile case while trying to file an IPO claiming anyone anywhere at anytime should pay OpenAI with literally anything even close to valuable is a next level stunt.

Anyone hilariously pretentious enough to review a museum with phrases such as Without [didactics], I left the Lucas without a clear sense of how the museum is positioning itself or, frankly, without learning much about anything beyond what I already knew.... that doesn't like it is about as ringing an endorsement as I can imagine.
