Yeah, OpenAI, for example, is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but it’s pretty hard to buy a share in it. It’s not publicly traded. That’s just the valuation you get when they get new investors from venture and elsewhere.

new video loaded: When Republicans Go Low …transcriptBacktranscriptWhen Republicans Go Low …What’s the smart move for Democrats in this political moment? On “The Opinions,” the columnist David Brooks says he thinks the party should channel Michelle Obama and “go high.”The question I would ask for E.J. is: Who was right, Obama or Newsom? And I mean Michelle Obama.
