    I’ll admit I’m experiencing a degree of pleasure in thinking about how nervous Anthropic and OpenAI must be with their IPOs supposedly coming up.

      They’re already billionaires many times over. Hard to feel nervous with that kind of wealth in your pocket

      They gotta pull Google and get into the advertising game. They are sitting on a gold mine of private data and I’m sure they know it.

      OpenAI already explicitly postponed their IPO somehow hoping for a better climate to IPO in…

      A certainly… optimistic expectation.

        You should not try to make sense of a decision they probably used chatGPT to make. It’s bad for your metal health

        NASDAQ just crested a new high this month, before stumbling last week.

        If the death of the tech industry is on the horizon, I can’t see it.

          DJIA crested a new high September 3rd 1929 before stumbling 3% the next week.

          If death of the market was on the horizon, they couldn’t see it.

          The slide being attributable to some "I told you so"s coming to pass may bode ill for the bigger "told you so"s that come due in a few months.

          But the market doesn’t act rationally, both going up and going down, so who knows.

            DJIA crested a new high September 3rd 1929 before stumbling 3% the next week.

            And over a century later, what has become of it?

            If someone bought $100 of stock in 1929, how much would it be worth today?

                $100 of the entire DJIA on September 3, 1929 adjusted annually: $13,633

                If you’d invested in January of 1929: $16,913

                If you’d invested in January of 1920: $72,275

                January of 1930: $31,708

                It’s never gone to $0
