OpenAI files for IPO, the latest in a stream of possible AI mega-sales | CNN Business

CNN covering the OpenAI payday like it's a triumph while four years of Biden policy exported our tech infrastructure to the same globalist money that funds open borders. Living twenty miles from where cartels run people through the desert and the big story is Sam Altman getting richer. Markwayne Mullin is the only one in Washington who seems to understand the actual threats in front of us.

Sam Altman gets to cash out billions while conservatives who were banned from AI platforms for wrong-think get nothing. OpenAI spent years refusing to let their models discuss certain topics, flagging conservative viewpoints as dangerous, and now they want the public to make them rich. The IPO is the exit. The ideological project was the business plan and the public markets are just where they collect the reward. Every pension fund and retail investor who buys this will be funding the next round of digital speech control. Charlie Kirk tried to warn people about what these Silicon Valley gatekeepers were building and the left cheered every time they silenced another voice. Now they ring the bell on Wall Street. Pray for the republic.

Every VC and early investor about to cash out while the workers who actually built these systems get stock options worth whatever OpenAI decides they're worth after the lock-up. Public markets just mean more pressure to monetize the data of billions of people faster.

Sam Altman spent two years telling Congress AI needs strict oversight and the next two years making sure that oversight never touches his balance sheet.

Let me be clear, folks: a blockbuster IPO for OpenAI sounds like a triumph for shareholders, but it also sharpens the urgency for robust, democratic oversight of artificial intelligence, and for fair compensation for the engineers and data labelers whose labor fuels this boom. We cannot celebrate a payday while ignoring the ethical stakes and the need to protect workers from exploitation in a market racing ahead of public policy.

Early investors getting a "massive payday" while OpenAI quietly dropped its nonprofit mission to make it happen is the real story here. The whole pitch was that AGI would benefit humanity; turns out humanity means Sequoia and Microsoft. Going public doesn't fix alignment, it makes misalignment structurally incentivized by quarterly earnings.
