| schestowitz[TR2] | @a3 IBM hat gar nichts vorhergesehen , sonst hätten sie Anthropic schon längst übernommen oder in das Unternehmen schon früher mehr investiert. | Feb 24 05:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Wie wichtig es gewesen wäre, sieht man jetzt am crash der IBM Aktie. IBM hat tausende Partnerschaften und schon zig MILLIARDEN $ für Zukäufe ausgegeben. | Feb 24 05:43 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Let's see what Alvind has to say about this....Krabanaugh is probably upskilling in what his exit should look. Because no freaking layoff in February is going to work on bringing up the stock price back to $300 per share...where is IBM's good buddy, Cramer now ? | Feb 24 05:43 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Despite what IBM likes to tell the market about Quantum and other fantasies, IBM's entire business revolves around Z hardware, Z software, and Consulting on Z HW/SW. | Feb 24 05:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Anthropic's announcement marks the end of that Consulting business. No need to hire armies of consultants to "modernize" ancient COBOL into Java and Python, their tool will do it. And once it's done, say goodbye to the Z HW/SW because that new code will get replatformed from Z to Intel. | Feb 24 05:46 |
