      And if people’s beliefs are that their AI deals are good, prices will go up. That’s ROI baby!

        No, that is not ROI, thats trade value and is mainly a reflection in shareholder payments and perceived growth potential.

    Absolutely, Natella (intentional) has commented about the valueless hype for one. The stock value has little to do with short term returns, I would expect a correction in 12-24months as openai cash starts running dry and it begins reflecting in their stock value first and foremost.

      AI isn’t just hype though, especially not in ways that Microsoft as a huge service provider can use and provide it.
