OpenAi IPO. Anyone going to buy?

[CSR Performance]

I thought about it for a while, but I'm not sure I like the long term outlook. Seems to be widely accepted that its probably 2030 before it's profitable and I can't help thinking the sector is far too dynamic for anyone to accurately predict what's going to happen in the next few years.

How about Space-X to test your risk appetite?

"We believe that our current space efforts will catalyze transformative breakthroughs that could reshape terrestrial industries and lead to the emergence of new trillion-dollar markets on the Moon, Mars, and beyond," the company said in its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SpaceX generated $4.69 billion in revenue in the first quarter and posted a loss of almost as much, or nearly $4.28 billion. For all of 2025, the company pulled in $18.67 billion in revenue, and turned a loss of $4.94 billion.

Well, one of the AI companies is going to be huge success and your invest will return 10000% in 10 years time... Pretty much all the others you will lose everything. The only issue is that we have no idea which one is going to break through and be the next Google, rather than Altavista

Or loose all when the bubble burst.

Mr Pichai noted at the conference that some companies are already blowing through their annual token budgets and it s only May. Consumers are not tokenmaxxing to anything like the same extent. But the more they use agents, the more providers of AI will need to come up with novel ways to make money from them.

So companies are spending while consumers retreat.

Another interesting one. I suspect it's going to follow a similar trajectory, although unlike the world of AI, I don't really see SpaceX having much tangible competition and could well be the sole player in a few years time.

Not for me. If Donald Trump could be relied on not to change his mind every 20 minutes then I may have shown more interest.

I will probably put a small amount in. It's probably going to return absolutely nothing and disappear but if it survives will make many times the initial investment, with no chance of anything in between. So should be a fun investment with an amount I can afford to lose.
