Palantir CEO Alex Karp argues OpenAI will never IPO: nationalization is the only real exit. Asked about S-1 risk factors, his answer was simple — there is no S-1. His theory: frontier AI's liability exposure is so large no public market can absorb it; only a government can backstop it. If right, OpenAI becomes a utility or a weapon, not the next Google. Gary Marcus found himself oddly agreeing.
