Thats exactly what they will be and they will not earn excess returns. So the valuations of OAI and Anthropic are bizarro.

Lmao software engineers are engineers because its not their job to be the business guy. Man you have been here since 2007 but you sound like an absolute bozo.

Im not even a SWE btw so I have no financial interest here, but I can see how bizarre his post is.
