Sam Altman says that “the democratic process must stay in control, and we must democratize AI” and that no private company should decide the fate of the world

(I also would like to share this, which I wrote after thinking a little more.)  There is a lot we will talk about in the coming days …

From reading this and Sam's tweet, it really seems like OpenAI *did* agree to the compromise that Anthropic rejected - “all lawful use” but with additional explanation of what the DOW means by all lawful use. The concerns Dario raised in his response would still apply here

Good - in Sam's previous comments on CNBC, he only mentioned using the DPA to force anthropic was a bad idea, so I appreciate they are making clear this also applies to the SCR designation. Other companies should also state this position as clearly as possible.
