🍭 Sam Altman Says “Enough.” 🤫

Good morning. My coffee said “optimize me,” so I poured it into a GPU.

It’s still jittery, just faster.

Let’s dig in. 👇

🍭 What’s Cookin’:

• Sam Altman says “Enough” to revenue talk

• Studio Ghibli tells OpenAI to stop training on its work

🤫 Sam Altman Says “Enough” to the Revenue Noise

The Bite: At around 12:30 in the “Bg2” podcast, Altman landed this flourish:

“If you want to sell your shares, I’ll find you a buyer. Enough.”

He wasn’t just being cheeky. He’s owning the narrative:
Yes, OpenAI is spending big (we’re talking multi-trillion commitments), and yes, the revenue numbers are still getting eyeballed.

But Altman’s send-off line signals he’s done playing by other people’s question-script.
He claims the company is doing “well more than $13 billion” in annual revenue.

What I love: this is the spicy version of Altman.
Confident enough to shut down the room, but with a tiny “We could also screw it up.”

He’s basically telling critics: Yeah, you have questions. Also, nobody buying shares right now would say no to buying OpenAI’s.

And he’s not wrong…

Snacks:

• Big check on the table — Altman says OpenAI is “well more” than $13B in revenue, not shy about it.
  

• Spending spree, or super-bet? — Company has $1.4 trillion+ in infrastructure & compute commitments that look wild compared to current revenue.
  

• Investor fantasy, real talk — Altman says “We could sell your shares or anybody else’s … very quickly.”
  

• Confidence with a caveat — He admitted “We might screw it up.” Bold to say, smarter to say.
  

• Media’s wrong question — He’s getting tired of endless “how will you pay for this?” questions, and his tone says: maybe ask what matters instead.

Why it Bites: Because for investors and onlookers, this isn’t just bravado — it’s a pivot in how Altman and OpenAI publicly walk the walk.

The swagger sends a clear signal:
“I know you’re skeptical. I also know you’d invest if you could.”

That kind of tone matters.
But swagger fades if the model doesn’t deliver.

So in that sense, the confidence could age like crypto in 2022.

Which means this moment might be fun for media today, but the real test is coming.

🖌️ Studio Ghibli to OpenAI: “Stop Training On Us”

The Bite: A coalition of Japan’s biggest creative heavyweights — including Studio Ghibli, Bandai Namco, and Square Enix — just sent OpenAI a formal letter: stop using our work to train your models.

It came from CODA, Japan’s copyright-protection group, which said AI companies are basically remixing copyrighted content without consent.

Under Japanese law, that’s a no-no.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth: OpenAI’s entire business depends on hoovering up oceans of data.

Asking them to stop is like asking a whale to chill on the breathing thing.

Snacks:

• CODA’s letter says OpenAI must “immediately cease” training on member content (anime, games, films).
  

• Japan’s copyright law actually requires prior permission — no “fair use” gray zone to hide behind.
  

• Enforcement, though? Murky. Most of these companies can’t afford an international legal slug-fest.
  

• OpenAI’s already had its “Ghibli moment” — even Sam Altman shared AI art mimicking the studio’s style.
  

• The move might pressure OpenAI to offer real licensing deals, but don’t expect the data-train to hit the brakes.

Why it bites: Because this is the moment everyone quietly realizes that creative rights and AI scale live on different planets.

Ghibli’s right to call it out — but let’s be honest, they’re not about to lawyer up against a trillion-dollar compute stack.

AI firms will talk about “respecting creators,” hold a few nice-sounding panels, maybe add another settings toggle.

But re-training the model?
Not happening.

OpenAI is unfuckwithable — and that’s exactly the problem.
