Tracking the demise of OpenAI through the news cycle
NitpickLawyer•1m ago
Keep in mind that the "news cycle" isn't of much use in this field. For 2025, almost all "mainstream" media was dead wrong in their takes. Remember the Deepseek r1 craze in feb25? Where nvda is dead, oai is dead and so on? Yeah... that went well. Remember all the "no more data" craze? Despite no actual researcher worth their salt saying it or even hinting at it? Remember the "hitting walls" rhetoric?
The media has been "social media'd", with everything being driven by algorithms, everything being about capturing attention at the cost of everything else. Negativity sells. FUD sells.

No, they are not dead. However, they face incredible competition in a brutally commoditized product space.

AFAIK in some space they're still the best models on offer.

Not in my experience, Gemini proves much better for me now.

As a retail investor mostly invested into broad ETFs (All World), is there any way I can get short exposure to OpenAI? Being short Oracle/Nvidia/Microsoft?
