Investor Jack Altman publicly disputes the FT report claiming OpenAI cited $70B as "net revenue," calling it bad reporting and CYA by the FT. He says the figure is an end-of-year number rather than a current run rate — common knowledge the paper could have verified — and he didn't correct it earlier because the error was so obvious.
