What Happened

The furor over Sarah Friar's comments grew so loud that Trump's AI czar David Sacks weighed in.

Our Take

Look, saying "I don't want a bailout" when nobody's offering one is a classic non-denial denial. The real story is that Sarah Friar said something that made Trump's AI czar David Sacks respond publicly.

What'd she say? The headline doesn't tell us. But if you're preemptively saying "we won't take handouts," you're worried someone thinks you might need them.

Bet: If OpenAI hits actual trouble, that principle evaporates in 48 hours.

What To Do

Find out what Sarah Friar actually said, not just Sam's response—that's where the real story is.
