Maybe lay down some concrete numbers and timelines, hold yourself accountable, otherwise you risk confirmation bias with your predictions like millions before you.

"Markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

He said "as soon as", so it's a pretty testable prediction.

It is increasingly look like OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX (xAI) are going to burst their own AI bubble by going public. Their businesses aren't ready for that kind of quarter-by-quarter grinding scrutiny. It is going to be bad when their lockup periods end.

The SEC has a proposed rule in public comment period right now that will change quarterly reporting to semiannual reporting.

From what I understand, SpaceX has been engineered such that all kinds of passive investment funds (pension funds, ETFs) will buy into it at their first rebalancing, and as such it should get a decent amount of volume after open. Having said that, it’s the company I have least faith in due to the recent acquisition of xAI / Twitter.

so whats the alternative?

In the last week Alphabet has positioned itself to go on the offense, going after exccess liquidity and excess compute. I fear that OpenAi and Anthropic would not be able to compete against an adveserial Alphabet which owns it's own models, hardware, large corpus of data, talent and network effects. My prediction is that OpenAI and Anthropic will eventually be crushed by Alphabet as they run out of investment and com…

No one has full agency over their life. The men who generally work harder, longer, and for more of their lives, that are shorter as a result, don't have fully agency. Having a boss isn't agency.

Ok, then, to give women as much agency as men have.

Having to work is less agency than not having to work. Being able to choose to work, and choose a nice lifestyle career while your husband has to work a hard job to afford the lifestyle is far more agency than men have.

Then someone says the market; they definitely mean the stock market. I don't know what else you can understand from it.

Why would the entire market implode?

Because in 2008, the housing bubble popped and it dragged with it the entire stock market. Stocks are more interdependent than most people realize.

Many people thought Google+ would stomp all over Facebook, and that GCP would kill Azure and AWS for most of the same reasons.

That's a fair argument.

> This is why I think OpenAI and Anthropic should really be one company I think the more companies there are, the better. Having 3 top labs competing, with 2 more trailing is better for consumers than having a monopoly/duopoly in goog or goog vs. the world. There'll be pressure on innovation, cost, availability and so on.

2 top labs...

Huh? I don't think there's much doubt out there that there are 3 top labs that are mostly at the same level - oAI, Anthropic & Goog (not necessarily in this order, depending on the month, but they've been trading SotA status on various verticals for a while now).

There's also 2-3 other trailing labs in MS, xAI and Meta. All of them are blundering behind, but at one point or the other they've been up there for some verticals as well.

I think this is good. Having one clear winner would be worse than this SotA of the week rotating thing they've got going on. For us as consumers anyway.

As it happens in large orgs, with mixed results. The biggest irony being the whole Transformer architecture being actually conceived at Google, only to be implemented as a product/service by another company.

This is relatively common historically. Two examples I can recall to mind without doing any research are Xerox/Apple and IBM/Oracle. I can only imagine there must be millions of other instances.
