They're all gonna start claiming they have "too good to release" versions...

Because everything they release sucks.

But if they never let anyone not financially invested even see the "good one" then no one can say it's actually shit.

It doesn't matter if it works, it matters if it raises stock price. So eventually we'll see them just not release it, it could only hurt the stock price.

Who are the three fucking assholes downvoting this?

That doesn’t make any sense. The value of the models is what they can do. If you say “we have the best super secret model” that could only be a stock bump - but that’s the business equivalent of the Republican Party’s “Two More Weeks™️”

There’s no “hidden model value” to be gamed here. They just flopped.

Investors don't care. They salivate at vague promises.

[–] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Investors who want to make and keep money absolutely do care.

Are you saying investors do not care about investing in very clearly bad investments? I don’t know of any, and would be happy to read more about whatever it is you’re talking about.

"The investors are simultaneously strong and weak."

Look at anyone investing in blockchain, NFT, and to a lesser extent AI and cryptocurrency companies. Very few of them are wise investments, yet there are so many companies receiving investments.

“Investments” are not at all the same thing as laundering money

NFTs were not “investors doing business” by any stretch of the imagination
