OpenAI, and then Anthropic, were each formed by AI developers who feared unrestrained(不受约束的) corporate AI development – specifically, that companies like Google and Meta would steer the technology towards deleterious(有害的), maybe even catastrophically(灾难性地) unsafe, outcomes for society. Their founders proclaimed that their new labs, uniquely, could be trusted to develop the technology in humanity’s best interest. But each, in turn(依次地，反过来), were themselves co-opted(被同化，被拉拢) by the same market incentives, themselves becoming corporate behemoths(巨头，庞然大物) zealously(狂热地) guarding future investor value rather than the public interest.
OpenAI和后来的Anthropic，都是由担心不受约束的企业AI开发的AI开发者创立的——具体来说，他们担心像谷歌和Meta这样的公司会把技术引向对社会有害、甚至可能造成灾难性不安全后果的方向。他们的创始人宣称，他们的新实验室是独一无二的，可以信赖它们以人类最大利益为出发点来发展技术。但这两家公司又相继被同样的市场激励所同化，自身变成了狂热守护未来投资者价值而非公共利益的巨型企业。
It was only a few weeks ago, in June, when OpenAI and Anthropic each filed for their IPO(首次公开募股)s and were met with buzz(热议，炒作) about trillion-dollar(万亿美元的) valuations. The hype(炒作) around their valuations is so extreme that many worry about their potential for concentrating(集中) wealth on a global scale. In an effort to(为了，试图) leave something for the rest of us, some observers have proposed that the federal government seize(夺取，没收) a share of these companies’ stock to create a US sovereign wealth fund(主权财富基金), or redistribute(重新分配) their revenues to produce a dividend(红利，股息) for taxpayers.
就在几周前的六月，OpenAI和Anthropic各自申请IPO，并伴随着万亿美元估值的炒作。围绕它们估值的炒作如此极端，以至于许多人担心它们在全球化规模上集中财富的潜力。为了给我们其他人留下点什么，一些观察人士提议联邦政府夺取这些公司的部分股份，以创建美国主权财富基金，或重新分配其收入，为纳税人产生红利。
Now the headlines are about public backlash(强烈反对) to AI datacenters and the AI chip giant Nvidia’s slumping(下跌的) stock. The tech and AI giant SpaceX’s newly minted(新发行的，新生的) stock price tanked(暴跌) just weeks after its IPO. There are even questions about whether the leading AI labs will ever be sustainably profitable. All of a sudden(突然), the makers of ChatGPT and Claude face strong headwinds(逆风，阻力) as they seek to generate the massive equity assets that once felt all but assured(几乎确定).
现在的头条是关于公众对AI数据中心的强烈反对，以及AI芯片巨头英伟达股价的下跌。科技和AI巨头SpaceX新发行的股价在IPO后仅几周就暴跌。甚至有人质疑领先的AI实验室能否实现可持续盈利。突然间，ChatGPT和Claude的制造商在寻求创造曾经几乎可以确定的巨额股权资产时，面临强劲的逆风。
