“an international watchdog modeled on the IAEA, a CERN-like consortium of leading labs, or a single dominant developer powerful enough to deny rivals access to compute.”
“He also says that the first offer is by far the hardest to obtain”

“insurers are bracing for multimillion-dollar claims tied to rogue AI agents, with industry figures warning CEOs including OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei could face personal liability for models' actions under directors-and-officers policies.”
Source→“I think Sam Altman talked about his experience with that at one point, and why he decided to either back off the dosage or stop taking them.”

Source→“Named among leaders for whom a 5-10% productivity boost justifies a top model.”
Source→“Dario Amodei's 2020 split from OpenAI after he became convinced Sam Altman and Greg Brockman were putting commercial priorities ahead of safety”
Source→“an IPO could create pressure to satisfy Wall Street at a moment when the company is trying to put safety and alignment ahead of further capability gains”
Source→“Bezos and Zuckerberg were doing totally different things... Elon and Jack Dorsey...”
Source→“OpenAI is equipping high-end subscribers with always-on agents, known as dots.”
