"As chatbots grow more powerful, so does the potential for harm. OpenAI recently debuted “ChatGPT agent,” an upgraded version of the bot that can complete much more complex tasks, such as purchasing groceries and booking a hotel. “Although the utility is significant,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted on X after the product launched, “so are the potential risks.” Bad actors may design scams to specifically target AI agents, he explained, tricking bots into giving away personal information or taking “actions they shouldn’t, in ways we can’t predict.” Still, he shared, “we think it’s important to begin learning from contact with reality.” In other words, the public will learn how dangerous the product can be when it hurts people."

"[I]t appears that SoftBank may not be able to — or want to — proceed with any of these initiatives other than funding OpenAI's current round, and evidence suggests that even if it intends to, SoftBank may not be able to afford investing in OpenAI further.

I believe that SoftBank and OpenAI's relationship is an elaborate ruse, one created to give SoftBank the appearance of innovation, and OpenAI the appearance of a long-term partnership with a major financial institution that, from my research, is incapable of meeting the commitments it has made.

In simpler terms, OpenAI and SoftBank are bullshitting everyone.

I can find no tangible proof that SoftBank ever intended to seriously invest money in Stargate, and have evidence from its earnings calls that suggests SoftBank has no idea — or real strategy — behind its supposed $3-billion-a-year deployment of OpenAI software.

In fact, other than the $7.5 billion that SoftBank invested earlier in the year, I don't see a single dollar actually earmarked for anything to do with OpenAI at all.

SoftBank is allegedly going to send upwards of $20 billion to OpenAI by December 31 2025, and doesn't appear to have started any of the processes necessary to do so, or shown any signs it will. This is not a good situation for anybody involved."

En mi opinión, #OpenAI está construyendo su propio walled garden, queriendo que todos (gente, empresas, gobiernos...) estén dentro, como ya hace #Apple con su “ecosistema”. Nada nuevo bajo el sol.
El potencial (y el peligro) de que ocurra es real. El objetivo de OpenAI de “encerrarnos” a todos bajo su plataforma "cerrada" es claro, posible y, lo más importante, preocupante.

"Companies and business groups are rushing to influence Washington’s artificial intelligence policies as the industry booms and Donald Trump’s administration seeks to encourage the powerful technology in the US.

More than 500 organisations lobbied the White House and Congress on AI between January and June, according to a Financial Times analysis of federal disclosures released this week. The figure is on a par with the first half of last year but has nearly doubled since 2023.

The lobbying boom over the past two years highlights how the AI industry, which is backed by Big Tech companies and deep-pocketed investors, is looking to shape policy at a time of intense debate about the technology.

“The US government is not only a gigantic potential customer but also a public validator of new technology approaches,” said Tony Samp, head of AI policy at law firm DLA Piper and a lobbyist for OpenAI, Boston Dynamics and other companies. “Unlike in years past when the government was often viewed as a hindrance, the business community increasingly views the US government as a key partner.”"
