???Happy Pi Day, March 14th (3/14)!????? Pi (π = 3.14159…) isn’t just for mathematicians—it plays a key role in?investment banking and financial markets?as well. While we don’t use it to calculate deal sizes, Pi is embedded in many of the?quantitative models, risk assessments, and market analyses?that drive modern finance. ???Where Pi Shows Up in Finance: ??Option Pricing Models?– Pi appears in the?Black-Scholes formula, which is used to price options and derivatives. ??Risk Management & VaR Calculations?– Pi is essential in?Gaussian distributions?that predict potential portfolio losses. ??Monte Carlo Simulations?– These simulations, used in M&A valuations and financial forecasting, rely on Pi for probability calculations. ??Bond Pricing & Yield Curves?– Fourier analysis, which uses Pi, helps break down complex yield curves in fixed-income markets. ??High-Frequency & Algorithmic Trading?– Pi is used in?time-series analysis?to detect market cycles and trading signals. So while Pi is often associated with?geometry and circles, it’s also an?infinite force in investment banking and financial modeling. How does?mathematics?play a role in your industry? Let’s discuss this in the comments! ?? #PiDay #Finance #InvestmentBanking #QuantFinance #RiskManagement #MarketTrends #STEM Chatsworth Securities LLC

?? Elon Musk’s $100B bid to buy OpenAI? Rejected by the board on Feb 14, 2025—but it was never meant to stick. ?? It was a stunt with a point: who’s AI really for? The public good or profit-chasing investors? ?? Elon Musk recently made headlines by offering $100 billion to buy OpenAI—a bid that was swiftly rejected. But was the offer ever meant to go through? Or was it a powerful statement about AI governance and accountability? ???? ?? The real question: Who is OpenAI accountable to? It started as a non-profit, but OpenAI LP operates as a for-profit entity to secure funding from Microsoft and others. This raises a fundamental concern: Is AI development being shaped for the public good, or for investors seeking returns? ???? Elon Musk’s bid forces us to ask: Who should govern AI? Should it be controlled by corporations with financial interests, or should it be regulated as a public good? ????? As AI continues to shape industries, economies, and societies, we must address the ethical dilemma of its governance. Transparency, accountability, and regulatory oversight are more important than ever. ???? ?? What do you think? Should AI development be dictated by private capital or public interest? Drop your thoughts in the comments! ???? #AI #OpenAI #ElonMusk #ArtificialIntelligence #TechEthics #Governance #Innovation #MachineLearning #AIRegulation #FutureTech #AIForGood #Microsoft #AIInvestments Chatsworth Securities LLC Ralph DiFiore

??? The Power of Disruption: Lessons from Blockbuster ?? In just 30 years, Blockbuster went from the pinnacle of entertainment to a single surviving store. This time-lapse video reveals the meteoric rise and the eventual decline of a once-dominant retail giant. ?? Key Highlights: 1985: The first Blockbuster store opens, revolutionizing home entertainment with an expansive selection of VHS tapes. 1994: Blockbuster reaches its peak with over 9,000 stores worldwide, dominating the video rental market. 2000: Netflix approaches Blockbuster with a partnership proposal—a $50 million opportunity turned down. 2007-2010: Streaming services take off, disrupting traditional rental models. Blockbuster’s inability to adapt marks the beginning of its decline. 2019: The last corporate Blockbuster store closes, leaving a single independent store in Bend, Oregon, as a relic of a bygone era. ?? The Takeaway: Disruption spares no one. The story of Blockbuster reminds us that innovation waits for no one. Companies that fail to adapt to technological advances and changing consumer behaviors risk obsolescence. ?? Let this be a lesson for all businesses: Stay agile. Embrace innovation. Anticipate change. ?? What are your thoughts on how businesses can future-proof themselves against disruption?

?? Exploring Search Methods in Modern AI Models: ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini ?? I’ve successfully completed my fourth course at Harvard University—CS50 AI with Python—where I gained deeper insights into building AI applications and understanding the inner workings of Large Language Models (LLMs). ???? But have you ever wondered how AI decides it's search result output? ?? ?? Key AI Sampling Techniques: 1?? Top-k Sampling – Focuses on the top 'k' most likely words, balancing predictability and randomness. 2?? Nucleus Sampling (Top-p) – Dynamically selects words based on probability thresholds, adding flexibility. ?? How Does AI Compare to Traditional Google Searches? ?? Unlike traditional Google searches, which retrieve pre-existing web pages based on keywords, AI models use probabilistic sampling to generate new content. ?? ?? Google Search = Deterministic, static results ?? – great for fact-checking but limited to indexed content. ?? AI Models = Adaptive, creative responses ?? – synthesizing information, enabling dynamic conversations, and even answering speculative queries. ?? Applications by Model: ChatGPT – Scalability and precision for general-purpose tasks. Grok (xAI) – Humor and trend-aware responses for social engagement. Gemini (Google) – Multimodal AI with advanced reasoning for complex queries. These models demonstrate how search algorithms power AI to deliver human-like adaptability. ?? The evolution of AI continues, combining structure and spontaneity to enhance user experiences. What are your thoughts on AI's future? ??
