Company A will accept funds to buy some stock like MSFT, then they will mint a token i.e. xMSFT that you'll own in a blockchain ledger. You can trade this for whatever you want but the company promises to buy any token xMSFT at MSFT price whenever you want[1]. So the tokenized asset remains pegged as long as there's trust in the institution.

Also, the company will grow a balance sheet out of the funds created by the owners of the tokens and they frequently will give you some sort of yield on your position.

OpenAI to this day is not aware if they solved or not Navier Stokes.

Mathematicians are not gate keepers but I understand the frustration. If someone claims they spent 30 million dollars to solve one of the most difficult problems yet there’s no new knowledge, understanding, nor certainty. Then what’s the point besides marketing?

Not saying that these are the only two options, just that it could be worse.

About your second point.

I bet you enjoy when a peer asks you to find the issues in a fully AI generated PR that’s 95% of the way there.

I know it’s satire but your comment made me think about the engineers working at Flock I’d bet most of them feel ashamed of it even in front of acquaintances.

AI assisted work is fine, Using any form of Microsoft Copilot is not.

If a contractor told me they use copilot I wouldn’t trust their judgment anymore.
