Pretty close to the right answer here I think. The S-1's were gonna be a disaster unless they can warp reality to eliminate open source competitors, or at least neutralize them through regulatory capture.

There it is. This is the payoff for the Harry Potter doomer LARP. Anthropic & OpenAI need to go public or the entire industry dies. The strategy: Push the competition out of business through regulatory capture of the market. Subsidize it through government assistance/bailouts. The truth is that the financials of both these companies—and SpaceX—are the real apocalypse. Dario & Sam’s hail mary is to convince the world they have something that will kill everyone unless they are allowed to be the only ones to build it. This is a goddamned confession. This industry is a doomer cult run by amoral conmen. Both these companies need to be shut down so adults can figure this out.
