It Ain’t Over Until It’s Over

 

Have you been paying attention to what’s been going on over the past week?

It’s more entertaining than any show you can binge and better than any movie you can see…

Because the drama that has just taken place in the world of AI – around the biggest company in AI, OpenAI (the creator of ChatGPT) – is popcorn worthy.

It’s a story of backstabbing and betrayal…

And of redemption.

It has all the makings of an award-winning film…

But it’s real life!

Investors and analysts are champing at the bit in anticipation…

Because once the dust settles – there may be some profit opportunities for those who have been paying attention.

Let’s get into it…

The stage is set…

Our protagonist, Sam Altman, OpenAI’s very own Houdini – was recently ousted for being less than forthcoming in internal communications.

That’s corporate speak for “Oops, did I say that out loud?”

But in a twist worthy of an Oscar – he’s now back in the CEO chair, less than 5 days after getting the boot – proving that in the land of AI…

It’s less about open communication and more about open-ended drama.

But that’s not the whole story…

Altman’s return to OpenAI is like watching a cat with nine lives – and possibly nine different job titles…

He went from CEO to ex-CEO, to Microsoft’s (MSFT) AI lab head, and back to CEO faster than you can say “artificial intelligence.”

It’s the kind of career rollercoaster that leaves you dizzy – or at least deeply envious.

But why, you ask, should you care about this tech soap opera?

Well, it’s like watching a game of high-stakes chess with humanity’s future…

As OpenAI (the brains behind ChatGPT) is supposed to be our bulwark against AI turning into our overlord.

Yet, here they are, playing musical chairs with their leadership.

And let’s not forget the altruism-meets-capitalism subplot…

OpenAI parades as a not-for-profit, holding the flag of responsible AI development – but rumors are swirling that profits might be sneaking up the priority ladder.

If true, it’s like finding out your favorite superhero is actually just in it for the money…

Disappointing – but not entirely surprising.

But I digress – as this dramedy is far from over…

Enter the next player, stage left – Microsoft.

The tech behemoth – with a 49% stake in OpenAI – is now playing the role of the wealthy uncle ready to swoop in.

They’ve already welcomed two ex-OpenAI entrepreneurs into the fold – and with OpenAI’s staff threatening a mass exodus over the leadership shuffle – Microsoft could be eyeing a bargain buyout of the rest of the company.

It’s like a clearance sale – but with billion-dollar AI firms.

Can you see why Wall Street is gobbling this story down like we all did Game of Thrones? (except the last season… what was THAT?!)

Now, the OpenAI saga is a mix of ambition, secrecy and good old-fashioned office politics…

But it could lead to some incredible opportunities – especially is Microsoft is able to land controlling interest.

It’s a reminder that in the quest to build responsible AI – humans are still the wild card.

But…

If you’re betting on a peaceful coexistence of AI altruism and capitalism – well, you might want to prepare for a few plot twists…

Because when it comes down to it – we’re still a bunch of monkeys fighting over bananas while living on a banana farm.

That’s why – as your resident Gorilla – I find it a lot easier to strategically find the biggest bananas by following the data.

Members of GorillaTrades know that the recommendations they receive are based on data and data ONLY…

No drama – just numbers.

Which is why we’ve become one of the most trusted names in our industry.

You should consider becoming a member and learn why we’ve helped so many people find ways to make money in the market.

Either way…

Keep watching the OpenAI story – something tells me that it’s not over yet.

Until next time…
