No time like the present to pull out and reduce your exposure. I brought this up in my employer's forums 4 months ago and honestly it's been clear even before then. In particular, the upcoming IPOs of both oAI and Anthropic will likely be disastrous for the public - the floor is falling from under them and I don't know if they can be scrappy and work with fewer resources - their internal culture may not support this. We all knew in our hearts they're a commodity - just see how easily you can switch between the 2 of them - and now there are 10 more options costing a fraction.

When Xi Jinping did the announcement of their open weights push, they might as well cancelled their IPOs....

Yes buuuut…. I do quite a bit of day trading (maybe closer to scalping) for the first few hours the market is open, everyday. Anecdotally: despite everyone knowing its valuation was ridiculous, I rode that SpaceX train pretty hard and made a pretty penny.

I close-out all my positions by end-of-trading everyday… so when the day came when there was a very clear and very scary indicator during early trading hours, quickly followed by SpaceX’s catastrophic fall right after opening bell, that was the end of my involvement….

And I fully expect oAI and anthro to be the same way. They’re being propped up with private loans, subsidies, and other tricky bookkeeping techniques. You would think their CEOs would pivot away from their current public personas. Ironically, they are like a poor man’s Elon Musk… and that doesn’t bode well for their companies
