A direct listing is not the same as an IPO.
A direct listing is a liquidity event for shareholders to exit (except shareholders who have more than 10% - they are locked in). You cannot raise money or file an S-3 with the markets for 12 months after you direct list.
QumulusAI are a going concern according to their own accountants. They don't have enough cash to survive to the end of the year. The $500 million facility from [USD.AI](http://USD.AI) is for GPUs only and it is a 70% LTV - so they can only access it if they find $150 million. They do not want to IPO because they do not want to give up equity. They have been shopping for a reverse merger since last year's failed attempt to merger with Vincerx.
The reason they are bothering with these S1 filings and amendments is because the prospectus that goes into a super 8-k reverse merger is largely the same as the one you would prepare if you were to IPO/direct list.
By pre-empting SEC review now, they are weaponising the SEC's own approval against them so that they cannot block the merger once it completes. Usually mergers happen via an S4, but SONM was not able to go down this route as Social Mobile (now called NEXA) did not allow them to link the asset sale to the original RTO (S4) plan. So the only way to de-risk the merger is via S1 and S1-A filings. In the interim, the DNAX crypto platform scaffolding was put in place to avoid shell designation from the SEC/NASDAQ.
Edit: to be clear, QumulusAI desperately need money, and they desperately need to go public in order to be able to execute their business plan. A direct listing does not serve that purpose.

Got RTO'd a year ago, used it to pivot into tech. Took longer than I expected and share what I'd tell someone starting now

Which is why all the studies show best outcomes for employees and employers is hybrid but nuance is hard so instead we have hard RTO mandates

I have found that for every person like your wife there are at least 10 fuckers who spent their “wfh” time napping, doing housework, watching kids etc. so many of my coworkers would show as green on teams but obviously be AFK, not responding to messages. Things improved dramatically when we had RTO and I could go find someone to get an answer instead of waiting for them to finish folding laundry or whatever the fuck.
