This story is about congressmen and state attorneys calling for an SEC investigation, not the executive

Which was motivated by a WSJ investigation into Sam’s personal dealings https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/chatgpt-openai-ipo-altman-029ae6...

Your original comment implied that this is a signal that Sam’s influence over the admin hasn’t protected his interests, when that’s still to be seen. The protection racket could still very well benefit him if the SEC ends up taking the case and the admin then tries to interfere with SEC’s independence.

Greg Brockman has donated more money to Trump than anyone else. Republicans shouldn't even be bringing OpenAI up let alone let something get to the SEC. Meanwhile low-level thugs get blanket pardons from the administration.

OpenAI and Brockman are getting scammed by this administration and the GOP. I just really hope tech remembers it next time they want to play this "both sides are bad" game come election time.

Are you complaining that government is not corrupt enough?

That seems like a fairly obvious misreading of the comment.

He's saying "hey, maybe stop donating to Republicans expecting them to help you out when in reality they will screw over anyone but themselves and especially don't donate to them when the GOP is aggressively homophobic and wants to get rid of your existence entirely"

I didn't see anything related to homophobia in the comment or any replies except yours...

There's a strand of white neoliberal gays (Sam, Thiel) who have thrown their lot in with the far-right for economic benefit.

If any of them read books I would send them a biography of Ernst Röhm

bingo.

Blackmailers and protection rackets aren't known for being satisfied after a single payment, after they've established someone is willing to pay.

That is why public corruption is such as plague and one of the reasons the US dollar was seen as a safe store of value once.
