I liked Matt Levine’s newsletter few days ago where he hypothesized scenarios where it’s much more profitable to short your competitors, then release a much better version of some widget completely free, and then profit $$$. Which is plausible here too, considering DeepSeek is made by a hedge fund.

How would that work out here though? "Open"AI is not publicly traded. Any kind of shorting would be quite indirect.
