I’m guessing it’s hard to go short OpenAI without also going short a bunch of other companies riding the AI wave that aren’t led by Sam Altman?

Would love to hear how that could work.

Shorting a security means risking exponential losses if the stock you're shorting continues to increase in value. As the saying goes: the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Just short Nvidia. If the thing goes bang then that’ll be one of the big losers.

Hmm. Maybe he might do... a bet!

And then maybe he might ... change the bet! when he was about to lose?

Maybe!

Who's to say, really? Certainly not me! I'm just a neural network!
