Yeah but mainly because of how insanely good it was for the 3 years before that. Covid pumped insane amounts of money into tech, which in turn lead to hiring WAY more people than were actually needed. This is just the correction of that, getting back to sustainable levels.
No, this is a correction after the CEO made very poor investments into an LLM company run by a crypto grifter that's amounted in little to no ROI. So now it's either every employee is an AI grifter or unemployed. All other projects are cost recovery to feed the spiral of enshitification.
Are you sure about that?
Absolutely, Natella (intentional) has commented about the valueless hype for one. The stock value has little to do with short term returns especially considering they have more than 1 income stream. 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.
Right now their stock value is pretty much flat. US market instability may put some serious pressure on the US tech stocks in the coming year, those 10 year bonds are not looking good.
AI isn’t just hype though, especially not in ways that Microsoft as a huge service provider can use and provide it.
Yes, it is.
