Sam Altman said he was ‘pretty wrong’ about the jobs apocalypse — and ‘roughly right’ about everything else — four days after OpenAI filed for a trillion-dollar IPO

OpenAI's confidential filing for a public listing targeting a valuation of up to one trillion dollars, as revealed on May 22nd, marks a significant milestone in the company's growth. This development comes as Sam Altman, the company's CEO, acknowledged being "pretty wrong" about the jobs apocalypse, while being "roughly right" about everything else, during a recent appearance at a Commonwealth Bank event. This news has important implications for website owners, particularly those who have integrated OpenAI's technology or are concerned about AI-generated traffic. As OpenAI's valuation and influence continue to grow, website owners can expect increased scrutiny of AI bot traffic and potential changes to content policies. With OpenAI's expanded resources, they may develop more sophisticated methods for tracking and managing AI-generated content, which could impact website owners' ability to manage their online presence. To prepare for these changes, website owners should take several steps: first, review their llms.txt files to ensure they are up-to-date and accurately reflect their AI bot traffic policies; second, monitor OpenAI's developments and updates to their content policies, particularly with regards to AI-generated content; and third, consider implementing measures to distinguish between human and AI-generated traffic to avoid potential issues with search engine optimization or content moderation.
