Haven't read the blog, but I can think of a good reason to sell. HQ moves to Norway, no more direct US government interference.
(they can still interfere, just not anywhere near the same scope)
You may think "but government ownership means more interference", and yes, but not radicalized, crazy assed, mercurial, emotional interference.

- throwaway894345 2mo agoYou didn't even make it to the parent's third sentence "bro".
- paulcole 2mo ago> they can still interfere, just not anywhere near the same scope This sentence is fundamentally wrong. If the US government really wants to put Norwegian-owned OpenAI out of business they will do so. OpenAI needs the support of the US to exist regardless of where they are headquartered.
- cactusplant7374 2mo agoThe US government would never allow a sale. Frontier intelligence given away? It is the ASML story all over again. I would hope we have learned our lesson.
- raincole 2mo agoYeah, move to EU to avoid government interference. Who wouldn't have thought that?
- throwaway894345 2mo agoOn the other hand, move to the EU and market to customers who don't want to worry about trade wars disrupting their business or the US government subpoena-ing data. Probably not a big enough market to justify that move yet, but it's not obvious to this American that my government is going to reverse its current self-destructive course.

- sixtyj 2mo agoNorway is participating in EU trade, but is not its member. They are part of Schengen (passport-free travel between 29 European countries).
