There's a "wall of fear-mongering and doomerism" in the AI world right now.

"Worrying about AI today is like worrying about overpopulation on Mars."

Concerns that AI could pose a threat to humanity is "preposterously ridiculous."

Claiming AI poses an existential threat is "such an extreme" and risks "wip[ing] out some of its potential benefits."

"I'm more concerned about... the risks that are here and now [than the existential threat of AI]."

Current AI is "not anywhere close" to posing an existential threat but it could in the future.

AI is the "biggest existential threat" to humanity.

AGI's worst-case scenario would be "lights-out for all of us."

Powerful AI systems "taking control" pose an "existential threat."

AI has a "10 to 25 per cent" chance of destroying humanity.

"The most likely result of building a superhumanly smart AI... is that literally everyone on Earth will die."

Does AI Pose an Existential Threat to Humanity?

Society is more likely to get "cat-level" or "dog-level" AI years before human-level AI.

"[W]e will eventually reach AGI... and quite possibly before the end of this century."

"Superhuman AIs" will be achieved "between a few years and a couple of decades."

"Digital intelligence" could overtake us within "5 to 20 years."

We may achieve "something like AGI or AGI-like in the next decade."

"[W]e could get to real AGI in the next decade."

"Human-level" AI could occur in "two or three years."

"I'd be surprised if we don't have AGI by [2029]."

"The company is not for sale. It's another one of his tactics to try to mess with us."

"So my very basic read is Elon's offer isn't serious."

"Musk and his legal team's insistence that the offer is real should keep it in the headlines for a while, but I’m still skeptical of their story."

"We don't expect any meaningful discussions to develop."

"Elon's offer to purchase the OpenAI nonprofit for $97.4billion isn't going to happen."

"It's time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was. We will make sure that happens."

"OpenAI will lag, I forecast they'll list in May 2027, with a median first-day cap of $1.0T."

“An IPO is not our focus, so we could not possibly have set a date [i.e. 2026]."

"There is a 40% chance that OpenAI will file for an IPO by 2026."

"OpenAI is considering filing for an IPO as early as the second half of 2026, though CFO Sarah Friar has suggested 2027 as more realistic."

"There is a 43% chance that OpenAI will IPO by December 31, 2026."

"There is a 59% chance that OpenAI will officially announce an IPO before Feb 1, 2027."

"The company is aiming for a 2027 listing... But some advisers predict it could come even sooner, around late 2026."

"I don't know"

"While CFO Sarah Friar is reportedly targeting 2027, the [IPO] offering could occur as early as the latter half of 2026."

"OpenAI is preparing to go public as early as the fourth quarter of 2026, targeting a valuation of up to $1 trillion."

Will OpenAI Complete an IPO by the End of 2026?

Apple filed a federal lawsuit in the Northern District of California on Friday accusing OpenAI, io Products and two former Apple employees of systematically stealing trade secrets to advance OpenAI's push into consumer hardware.

Apple filed a federal lawsuit in the Northern District of California on Friday accusing OpenAI, io Products and two former Apple employees of systematically stealing trade secrets to advance OpenAI's push into consumer hardware.

The suit names Tang Yew Tan, OpenAI's chief hardware officer and a 24-year Apple veteran, alleging he emailed himself supplier information before leaving Apple and directed job candidates to bring hardware components to OpenAI interviews for "show and tell" sessions.

Former Apple electrical engineer Chang Liu, also named in the suit, allegedly retained an Apple-issued laptop after leaving the company and exploited a network bug to download dozens of confidential hardware files while employed at OpenAI.

Apple says it launched an internal investigation in February, warned OpenAI of potential trade secret theft and received no response. The company claims over 400 former Apple employees now work at OpenAI.

The lawsuit marks a sharp deterioration in relations between the two companies, which formed a high-profile partnership in 2024 to integrate ChatGPT into iPhones, iPads and Macs. Apple has since shifted newer AI features to Google's Gemini model.

Tensions escalated after OpenAI acquired io Products, the hardware startup co-founded by former Apple design chief Jony Ive, for approximately $6.4 billion. OpenAI is also preparing for a potential public listing and is expected to release its first hardware product.
