Wouldn't say we would either, but we enjoyed it as a read and a few phrases stick in the mind, as these things do.

Not a comment on your post, just our lack of reading comprehension 😄

Always quite liked Simon Armitage - got an anthology of his somewhere, we think

Executive Summary: OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar has, per The Information, said that OpenAI is not ready to go public in 2026, in part because of the "risks from its spending commitments" and not being sure whether the company's revenue growth would support its spending commitments. Friar (CFO) no longer reports to Sam Altman (CEO) and hasn't done so since August 2025. OpenAI's margins were lower in 2025 "...due to the company having to buy more expensive compute at the last minute."

News: OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar doesn't think OpenAI is ready to go public, nor that its revenue growth will support commitments. OpenAI's already-unprofitable margins have also got worse thanks to having to buy last-minute compute due to unanticipated demand.

Love this. The first record we were ever bought, but not in this edition!

We'll be there, if that counts for anything? (It may well not.)

Can we pay extra for you to do/not do this depending on what is most psychologically advisable?

Not sure your mic is on

They've sent your ticket into the ether!
