For the evaluation OpenAI and its investors would target, they would need pretty great ones. But another thing is that they’d also need to look good relative to anthropic, who is also looking at an IPO.
Not sure if their plan for it has changed,but OpenAI would always be measured against them. And my understanding is that anthropic is said to have better financials while having raised less investment money so far.
There is only so much liquidity for IPOs and SpaceX already vacuumed up a lot. If both openai and and anthropic would IPO as an option for investors to buy into a pure play, I assume everyone would compare the two and go for the perceived winner (or want a good discount for the second best)

Personally I just wish this had legal consequences for real people, because ultimately someone makes those decisions.
Avoiding a single company might be viable, but constantly keeping track of who (and their brands) should be avoided imo is not the solution, but a bandaid fix.

The one issue, besides availability (both on the vendor side and banks offering it), is that as I understand it wero is basically just a somewhat more convenient direkt bank transfer. But does it also offer some form of buyer protection?
For many things like sending money to friends or shopping at large retailers that doesn’t matter. But for buying at smaller websites that

Yeah, not even looking at the offer seems stupid. Unless maybe you think that it leads to consequences before you get the chance to voice your opinion again. I’m not sure how it was communicated in the lead up to this referendum, at what stage in the process the next one would be.

but Iceland will still need to invest heavily in national defense to realistically protect them from a belligerent America.
To me this just doesn’t seem feasible for a country like Iceland. Imo there is a threshold that needs to be reached before any level of protection is achieved and imo Taiwan is basically the only small country that managed to reach this point. But what it took to get there is being the linchpin for the most important global industry.
I am waiting to see how and when anthropic IPOs, because I think that is l the more important comparison. OpenAI is caught between a rock and a hard place, because they want to go public for exit liquidity, but anthropic will always be a direct comparison. And if the financials aren’t in their favor, then they won’t get the valuation they desire as the second best.
