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

[01:33] schestowitz[TR2] They like the partnership, fine. [01:33] schestowitz[TR2] But this partnership is due to a failure, called Watson. [01:33] schestowitz[TR2] And not the only failure, it's a repeat behavior. A pattern. [01:33] schestowitz[TR2] So why, why, why reward a partnership that is coming to try to fix a failure (another one)? [01:33] schestowitz[TR2] The stock market is broken.

[01:33] schestowitz[TR2] "Anthropic's Claude large language models will be infused into IBM's software portfolio." [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 [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.

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.

I feel for all the customers who got on the Watson train... looks like they will be looking at a migration very soon. [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!

Mostly. [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). [01:33] schestowitz[TR2] Productivity messaging with new AI tool being up. [01:33] schestowitz[TR2] Lesser effect, Granite announcements and other bits and pieces.

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 [19:01] schestowitz[TR2] gs each quarter shows that IBM does not value that metric. . [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." [19:02] 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 [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...)"
