DrEliDavid speculates that Anthropic and OpenAI are delaying their IPOs because their S-1 filings would reveal heavy losses and no path to profitability — and that the "AI slowdown" narrative is really a way to cut training costs, unrelated to safety.
Geoff Wolfe adds his own read: training hasn't slowed down, only releases. The claim is unverified industry speculation, but reflects widespread skepticism about whether safety framing masks commercial motives.
