wish oai was publicly traded so i could buy the dip on all this nonsense. the one for musk was super juicy.

It's weird to assume there would be a dip if it were publicly traded.

"The company I hold just secured a government contract. Better sell it." - Imaginary Shareholder

As a matter of fact, the stock would be popping on the news that the DoD will be replacing Anthropic + Palantir with OpenAI + Palantir.

Great for you surfin' musk's hype wave while he turns the world into his own fascist dominion. At least you made some bucks along the way! Those come certainly in useful - albeit are quickly depleted - once you live in a totalitarian world where every interaction with the monopolistic oligarchic big-tech-state monster requires a bribe, probably in shitcoins. (see the Russian oligarchic state that the US is quickly progressing towards - apparently Russians have no word for "bribe", as it's common practice to give gov agents "gifts" if you want anything being done.)

We already live in an oligarchy. The difference between us and Russia is that their government controls the oligarchy. Here the oligarchy controls the government.

Also please stop throwing around the fascist word for everything, good lord it’s tiring and cringe.

I see a bunch of cynicism in this reply, but I guess you would argue there is none. Fair enough.
