The proposal, reportedly floated by Sam Altman, would see leading AI companies allocate a small ownership stake to the public through a vehicle similar to Alaska's Permanent Fund. The idea is simple: if AI is set to create trillions of dollars in value, the public should directly share in the upside. The move could also help ease growing political pressure as Washington scrutinizes AI over jobs, cybersecurity, data centers, and national security. OpenAI and Anthropic have already seen their latest AI models delayed by regulatory review. The proposal would ideally extend beyond OpenAI to companies such as Anthropic, Google, and Meta, although it remains unclear whether they would participate. The discussions are still at an early, conceptual stage and would likely require congressional approval. If implemented, it would mark one of the most significant shifts in the relationship between government and private technology companies, potentially creating a new model where the wealth generated by AI is shared not only with investors, but with the public itself.

Profitable (adjusted). Cash-flow positive. $1.70 of revenue per $1 of compute. Few companies in history have printed a quarter like this. So why is the perp future on Binance down 14% from its high? 📉 Because markets price the slope, not the level. → Monthly run-rate growth: ~33% (Jan–Jul) vs 3–7% (Aug–Sep) → $100bn by year-end now needs Q4 to roughly double that pace → Token prices have halved in a month → Usage up, spend flat (Ramp data) → OpenAI is back, and it’s now a two-horse race → “Adjusted” profit, with $518bn of compute commitments ahead The key question: Can volume grow faster than prices fall? What to watch: the S-1 (~25 Oct), token prices, Q4 run rate, credit spreads. Spectacular numbers.
