💵 OpenAI Just Offered America 5% of the Company
Sam Altman is offering the US government a 5% stake in OpenAI, worth roughly $42.6 billion. The idea is to seed a public wealth fund, then get every other major AI lab to match it.
Should AI companies hand equity to the public?
🏦 An Alaska Fund, but for AI
The plan mirrors the Alaska Permanent Fund, with returns paid straight to citizens. A real deal needs an act of Congress, and no other lab has signed on.
✊ Bernie Wants Ten Times More
Senator Sanders has a rival bill demanding a one-time 50% stock tax on big AI firms. His version builds a $7 trillion fund paying every American about $1,000 yearly.
📈 The IPO Elephant in the Room
OpenAI quietly filed its S-1 in June. Some see a genuine share-the-wealth moment, and others see the world's most expensive PR move ahead of an IPO.
🔓 Fable 5 Is Back From Government Timeout
The US government lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 on June 30, and the most capable publicly available AI model came back online after 19 days in the dark.
🚫 Why It Got Pulled
Amazon researchers found a jailbreak that got Fable 5 to surface software vulnerabilities, triggering an emergency order on June 12. Unable to verify nationality in real time, Anthropic cut off everyone.
🛠️ How It Got Sprung
Anthropic proved rival models like GPT-5.5 and Kimi K2.7 could pull off the same exploit, then shipped a stronger safety classifier. Voluntary release standards for all frontier labs are coming next.
🎁 What You Get Now
Fable 5 is live again across Claude apps, and paid plans get it included up to 50% of weekly limits through July 7, though Anthropic hints that it could one day return to the subscription.
