| schestowitz[TR2] | Exactly right. Excellent comment. | Oct 08 01:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I wrote the comment before this one. The market valuations / stock market is broken. Things don't make sense. | Oct 08 01:33 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I just have a few simple questions (sarcasm on), why is stock being so up because of this one? | Oct 08 01:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | They like the partnership, fine. | Oct 08 01:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | But this partnership is due to a failure, called Watson. | Oct 08 01:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | And not the only failure, it's a repeat behavior. A pattern. | Oct 08 01:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | So why, why, why reward a partnership that is coming to try to fix a failure (another one)? | Oct 08 01:33 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Does anyone actually read the press releases? | Oct 08 01:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "Anthropic's Claude large language models will be infused into IBM's software portfolio." | Oct 08 01:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This does not say that IBM is throwing away their AI tools. Rather, IBM integrates large language models (LLMs) into watsonx.ai by providing a studio with a diverse catalog of pre-trained models and a suite of tools for prompt engineering, tuning, and deploying custom generative AI solutions. IBM offers a variety of foundation models in watsonx.ai, which include LLMs from different sources such as IBM Granite models, Open-source mo | Oct 08 01:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | dels, User's Custom models and Agent integration to third-party LLMs such as OpenAI's GPT models - and now Anthropic's Claude models. | Oct 08 01:33 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | It would appear that way. But not sure why the stock market would assign a high valuation to IBM for becoming the 362,549th company whose AI strategy is to just build a wrapper over OpenAI's or Anthropic's AI API. | Oct 08 01:33 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Yes, Watson is finally dead... I feel for all the customers who got on the Watson train... looks like they will be looking at a migration very soon. | Oct 08 01:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | At the end of the day, shame on IBM... but now we got the confirmation of something we always knew: Watson was cr-p since the first day! lol! | Oct 08 01:33 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Yes, it's the Anthropic effect. Mostly. | Oct 08 01:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | There's also been an analyst event this week (AK was presenting). That created PPTs and analysts x'ing (tweeting), LinkedIn, etc (the market hears it, initial positive, then they think further about it, can go either way). | Oct 08 01:33 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | " I said "She appears to be successful at that job". Assuming that her success matrix is linked to "performance" is the problem. Success is whatever her manager deems it to be - and at the C-Suite level where IBM operates, that tends to mean the ability to manage and enhance the relationships with Client C-Suite execs - a.k.a. "schmoozing". Many would LIKE it to be performance/revenue based, but a quick look at IBM's revenue/earnin | Oct 08 19:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | gs each quarter shows that IBM does not value that metric. . | Oct 08 19:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Also - I am deemed successful in my job yet my Linked-In profile is devoid of specifics, accomplishments, history. Why? Because Linked-In does not matter in my success matrix - but my clients opinions of me and what I do for them does. Making judgements of others capabilities/successes based on what is listed in a social media profile is meaningless. Yet that is what many people do today." | Oct 08 19:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ""The market valuations / stock market is broken." No it's not - your interpretation of what the stock market IS and how it works is broken. Investing in the stock market is gambling - especially when investing in individual stocks which are priced on pure speculation. It's similar to betting on the Yankees to win it all - and then they don't, you lose. Investing in the broader market (Sectors, indexes) is still gambling - however | Oct 08 19:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's like betting which 12 teams will make it to the MLB Playoffs. You are more likely to get some of the 12 correct and make some money. (ok, poor analogy but I think you get the point...)" | Oct 08 19:02 |
