Not to mention Microsoft's investments in Nvidia and other GPU-adjacent/dependent companies!

A successful ternary model would basically erase all that value overnight. In fact, the entire stock market could crash!

Think about it: This is Microsoft we're talking about! They're a convicted monopolist that has a history of manipulating the market for IT goods and services. I wouldn't put it past them to refuse to invest in training a ternary model or going so far as to buy up ternary startups just to shut them down.

Want to make some easy money: Start a business training a ternary model and make an offer to Microsoft. I bet they'll buy you out for at least a few million even if you don't have a product yet!
