Market views

Bullish and bearish opinions expressed in this episode, paired with supporting transcript quotes. The quote confirms what was said—not whether the opinion is correct.

Bearish

OPENAI— OpenAI's Sora product shutdown and high compute costs suggest challenges with their consumer strategy and business model sustainability.
ANTHROPIC— Despite rapid growth trajectory, Anthropic appears to be using aggressive revenue accounting methods that may overstate their actual business performance.
