Scoop: Altman Privately Opposes US Government Stake in OpenAI, Reversing Signals

Scoop: Sam Altman privately told a group of GOP economists he does not support the government owning shares in OpenAI, and OpenAI confirms it opposes a USG 'stake in AI companies' — despite having given Sen. Bernie Sanders the opposite impression. Transformer argues this proves governments and labs won't share AI's windfall on their own; redistribution needs deliberate policy and philanthropy.
