Is this how it's going to work for every new model release - the executive branch inserting itself into decisions made by private companies?

As a non-American who grew up in a deeply corrupt country, this sets off every alarm bell.

I am fairly convinced the admin has a servcie where they will ban your products for like a few weeks and then lift the ban if you buy a certain certain cryptocurrency coin.

But the marketing didn't really work very well for OpenAI as much as it did for Anthropic. People still Mythos is some mythical-level software that is basically skynet while 5.6 is seen as another product. OpenAI needs to spend way more than the 5 billion it did last year on marketing to keep up.

I am betting on Dario to win the ipo race.
