In his words, quote, given everything happening with safety, right now

would be an ill-advised moment to go public and we don't feel pressure on that.

AI skeptics lauded the move from these industry leaders, but it's worth pointing out there are plenty of people who say that their motives are far from altruistic.

So anytime you've got an industry where literally trillions of dollars are on the line, you know, it's worth being skeptical of almost everything you hear.

Some folks in the industry believe Musk, Altman, and others working at the big boys in the AI space are intentionally trying to drum up fear because they would uh theoretically benefit from stiff regulations in Washington.

The idea would be that in a Wild West scenario with little oversight, anyone could rise up to ranks and then reap the rewards that come.

With innovation.

Skeptics say that red tape from Washington often benefits the biggest tech companies because, unlike their smaller competitors, they have the money to employ lobbyists who can help craft legislation in their favor, and they can afford enormous compliance departments to help them navigate the regulations that would follow.

There is no denying that OpenAI and Anthropic have been burning through cash as well.

Critics say that they've started to hit a wall when it comes to scaling, and right now that they're using.

Safety concerns as a bigger excuse to pump the brakes and more broadly, again, avoid going public, which obviously would require opening up their books.

To that point, we saw David Sachs, famed investor and advisor to President Trump, accuse OpenAI and Anthropic of trying to use AI safety fears as a means of quote, forming a cartel.

He added, quote, demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of slowing down will look like blackmail of the public and

And the political system.

So now we wait to see how Washington responds.

We've already seen lawmakers in both parties, uh, mainly on the left, but some on the right, call for Congress to immediately respond with new oversight legislation.

One letter circulating right now on the Hill is pushing for the House to quote return to Washington immediately and remain in session until Congress advances meaningful bipartisan AI safeguards.

Yeah.

So expect to hear a lot about this on Capitol Hill all week.

and long, long after.
