OpenAI Really Cares About Safety

from The Tech Money Podcast Hosted by Malcolm Ethridge and Ricky Mulvey

Sam Altman told Fortune that OpenAI is delaying its IPO because of safety concerns. Ricky and Malcolm think the real story is something else. Ricky Mulvey and Malcolm Ethridge discuss: Why Sam Altman's "safety" excuse for delaying OpenAI's IPO looks a lot more like a company that isn't ready to speak to Wall Street. The AI researcher who quit his job over how "dangerous and irresponsible" these companies are, then admitted on national TV that he still owns his shares. Why the federal government is quietly taking equity stakes in companies like Rigetti Computing. What a Yahoo Finance analysis of 17 companies that cut deals with the Trump administration says about who actually profits. Ricky's new car purchase, the used-car market that refuses to depreciate, and tips for speeding up time at a dealership. Want to contact us?
