They have to beat OpenAI and SpaceXitter because they're afraid the investors will jump on the first AI bandwagon that comes around and have less or no money for them.

And there is a waiting time after the IPO before cashing out is possible, half a year or so. Critics with some knowledge expected the bubble to pop somewhere in 2027, so with the half year waiting period they have to make their move soon or they'll sell on the downslope.

They have a lot less runway to enshittify than everything else we've seen recently. Because AI is way more expensive than anything else we've gotten for "free". Which means they're already on borrowed time.

Hopefully they get it over with sooner rather than later. The longer it takes, the more my retirement savings gets fucked.
