If that were the case, I wonder why Apple passed on this investment.
If that was the case then the valuation would have a couple extra 0s at the end of it. Right now this "super human intelligence" is still figuring out how to count the number of Rs in strawberry, and failing.

This seems to be the "crypto is about to replace fiat for buying day to day goods/services" statement of this hype cycle. I've been hearing it at least since gpt-2 that the secret next iteration will change everything. That was actually probably most true with 2 given how much of a step function improvement 3 + chatGPT were.
It seems that me most likely outcome is that they have one replaceable product against many and few options to get return commensurate with valuation.
My guess is that investors are are making a calculated bet. 90% chance the company become irrelevant, 10% chance it has a major breakthrough and somehow throws up a moat to prevent everyone else from doing the same.
