There’s a strong chance the IPO window has passed. I just don’t see investors willing to jump in here given all the questions about the financial viability of AI. The bulk of those investing now are broadly just pumping cash into the fire to keep their prior investments from going to zero. We have hit a mass deceleration of what the current tech can do with transformers. The tech is also on a path to hyper-commoditiz…

> There’s a strong chance the IPO window has passed Ha, i'll take the other side of that bet. I'm not sure why you think they couldn't possibly IPO and you don't really specify why in your post. Having been in the capital markets for 20 years, now is one of the better times to IPO and I'd bet that both OpenAI and Anthropic will IPO within 12 months. There are lots of games you can play like releasing a small 10% floa…

Polymarket (for whatever it's worth) currently has OpenAI IPO at only 4% by end June and 40% by end December (and that's even for a small-float IPO as has become common). https://polymarket.com/event/openai-ipo-by

What is this supposed to imply? You can't reasonably draw any conclusion from betting without understanding who is betting and why.

Well, I suppose you can draw the conclusion that "polymarket customers are interested in this topic"

The output is also very manipulative in order to keep you using it. They want you to feel good. I don't use ChatGPT at all anymore, as it is misleading too badly. But it will work for masses as it worked with Facebook/Instagram etc.

Having to continually keep it "on task" is exhausting. ChatGPT: If you want I can make a full list of 100 examples with definitions in alpahbetical order. Me: What was the original context I gave you about suggestions? ChatGPT: You instructed me: do not give suggestions unless you explicitly ask for them. Me: and what did you just do? ChatGPT: I offerred a suggestion about making a full list of 100 examples, which go…

ChatGPT: Would you like me to show you one simple trick to improve prompt adherence?

ChatGPT seems to have become a LinkedIn lunatic. I just asked Opus and ChatGPT to explain bitonic sort: Opus: Let me build an interactive explainer for bitonic sort (builds diagram/no nonsense) GPT: "This algorithm feels weird but once you see it it clicks" (Emoji) The Core Idea ...; (Emoji) High-Level Flow ...; (Emoji) Superpower ...; (Emoji) Why You Should Care; "If you want, I can: ...

In you settings [0] you can change how it should speak. Emojis, warm, enthusiastic, tone and more.

I have a system instruction for chatgpt to never use emojiis. It ignores it half of the time. I can see why you would want to have something like this in a live weapon system :) ;) (>

Have you tried the settings for emoji use? https://chatgpt.com/#settings/Personalization

ChatGPT allows setting a "personality" profile Settings -> "Base style and tone". Try the "Efficient" setting. Its great. no emoji, no clickbait.

That Polymarket traders believe an OpenAI IPO this quarter, or even this year, is unlikely (or else almost all of them are hedging, e.g. long on other AI stocks. Which seems unlikely.)

Anyone who thinks that position is wrong and it's >4% likely has a clear profit opportunity.
