He wants regulations to kill the competition. Open source is gonna get fucked in the coming months. The whole media campaign has been specifically for this.

Sam is a con man, why is anyone listening to him.
He should accelerate himself off a cliff.
No he isn't, the only reason Sam Altman would hit the breaks is if he was falling behind and needed to catch up.
Every "Sam Altman said..." headline can be summed up as:
"Manipulative liar says whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear."
"Tech crypto grifter says thing to grift people with crypto, tech or both. More at 11"
Although i cant imagin any sign of a pullback would be good for any of the companies in the AI bubble. While probably not important on the specifics of what he is saying it is a "we should slow down" which the market aint gonna like. No breaks on this gravy train Sammy boy!
Likely translation: scaling their models is hitting diminishing returns, while the business world is slowly realizing the math ain't mathing and they're not suddenly 10x more efficient and profitable than before LLM adoption.
So Sammy and the others need a plausible cover story why capabilities aren't evolving at break neck speed anymore, to prevent their beautiful bubbly bubble from crashing down on them
Let's hope they get the Enron treatment for their actions
I'm thinking more French revolution treatment.
Sweet! Who are you hoping the next Napoleon will be?
Exactly. Who tf actually believes this crap?
Feds made them be the fall guy though. Data centers are new infrastructure for the government to use. That's the main reason for all this ai bullshit. Chapgpt and this consumer grade bullshit is the unplugged video game controller they gave us to makes us feel special and a part of something while THEY play "The Game".

Sadly it's way more banal and boring than that.
Or they have hit a wall.
Yeah, we've definitely been seeing diminishing returns with the latest frontier models. I think that's why when GLM and Kimi come in at 1/5 the price of Opus but are just as good, or when Deepseek comes in at 1/10 the price and is catching up quickly, they have to worry. There may be nowhere for them to go.
I'd like to hit his head against a wall, multiple times.
We need to scale AI development!
Openweight models start growing
No, not like that!
Stop paying attention to this lying fuckwad.
