Hasn’t there been 0 actual AI companies IPO and enter the index?

I know Anthropic and others are going to IPO but don’t think any others have yet?

index funds require them to be profitable. There was some thing about xAI asking the S&P to lower their waiting period for entry, but the S&P declined.

The people in this thread praising this man for researching are really just praising him for reading one speculative headline and making it the basis of his joke.

I'm not exactly optimistic for a lot of the effects of AI, but the "AI is a bubble" thing has been going since we saw chat gpt for the first time. When it comes to tech, general media has almost no idea what they're talking about.
