@kimmonismus Thanks I thought you still didn't post Abt this, so I tagged in a post for you to remind 😅 sorry
The most significant part of this report to me was Sam Altman admitting OpenAI may be less than six months away from Recursive Self Improvement. According to the report from The Information if OpenAI does hit RSI this year, then the IPO could be delayed. They quote Sam Altman as saying 'The faster the potential RSI takeoff looks like it could be, the more it could be advantageous to delay an IPO' because the 'technology and the world may change in surprising ways, and there might be good reasons to be a private company during that time.'
OpenAI appears to be preparing for a possible IPO within the next year, but Sam Altman is keeping the door open. If recursive self-improvement starts looking real, staying private could become the smarter move. At the same time, OpenAI’s enormous compute needs may push it toward public markets sooner, while the company is also preparing a new model, codenamed 5.6, described internally as a meaningful improvement over GPT-5.5. via The Information
Sam Altman is reportedly warning staff that recursive self-improvement (RSI) could delay its IPO. Altman said a major RSI breakthrough could justify delaying the listing, as some work may be easier while being a private company. Public-market pressure for Revenue/profit could be huge during a phase where model capability may change faster than quarterly reporting can explain. --- cryptobriefing. com/openai-ipo-delay-recursive-self-improvement/

Gotta love a company that files its S-1 and spends the next week of the news cycle trying to convince people it may not go public soon. (My guess, fwiw, is that they will.) https://twitter.com/theinformation/status/2064762047510831281

Rapid RSI could trigger unpredictable tech and societal shifts favoring private flexibility. Altman noted that faster takeoff makes delaying an IPO advantageous because “the technology and the world may change in surprising ways, and there might be good reasons to be a private company during that time.”[[1]](https://x.com/AndrewCurran_/status/2064749384622121005) This preserves nimble control amid volatility without quarterly pressures or public oversight.
