From what I understood it’s not really money “lost”, it’s that the company was valued a certain amount and, with a bit of that hype dying down, it’s now valued 80 Billion less.

I’m not an expert on… pretty much any argument in this thread though, so if someone more knowledgeable can chime in I’d appreciate too.

Not to mention using all that land and water resources to prop up their AI ambitions.

Look man I just need a little liquiditiy... 😏

Forget resale, for 80 billion you could probably get BYD to produce custom vehicles under your own brand.

I'm totally spamming this across the thread with copy/vaste.

but worst. because some of those sites provided actual value, "AI" does not, most heavily used by Palantir/AI as mass surveillance and profiling people for bombings or harrasment.

even though it is worthless whenever next model version is released.

For most version releases I actually doubt that, I'm pretty sure they just keep training the model and release checkpoints every few months. Architectural changes, however, will indeed invalidate the previously trained models, and occasionally they have to do that to keep up with the competition.

But if you do architectural changes even just once a year, that means you'd have to depreciate those training costs over just that one year to be truthful. Meaning they might as well be losses rather than depreciating capital investments.

But, when the word guessing program gains consciousness, it will be capable of doing the job of every worker in the world, and eager to do those jobs, and anybody who owns Anthropic shares will be a trillionaire in an economy that totally works and is healthy. So, better invest now!

I firmly believe OpenAI, Anthropic, etc., will all eventually collapse under their own weight, meanwhile open weight distillations of their models will become the de facto standard for AI usage. There's just no way they can ever make up all the money they've burned in R&D, especially when distillations are right behind them.

They have.

1. Wait for excited CEOs to fire all their staff.

2. Crank up the prices.

Spacex really changed the game, forcing the markets to load up that ish in our 401(k)'s.

Next, when Musk threatens to "gift" every child spacex stock in their Trump accounts, it's another form of using the general public as an exit , well artificially propping up the moonshot companies stock values.

It is a Master Class in forcing volatility into the financial lives of not just retail investors but Main Street people.

In old days, but there are so many random retail investors in the market now keeping garbage stocks afloat. Same reason why Tesla is so over valued and why GameStop won’t die.

Nowadays, stocks are made of fairy dust and wishes. It’s all nonsense when fanboys get involved.
