GRAB THE WALLETS FIRST

By Zimbo · October 19, 2026

AI cartoon by Zimbo: Satirical cartoon: a sweaty, anxious Sam Altman in an OpenAI-logo shirt lunges for a giant wallet stuffed with cash labeled SoftBank, MGX, Sovereign Wealth Funds and Long-Only Funds, while a rival in an ANTHROPIC shirt chases him toward a glowing ANTHROPIC IPO building; a cat watches knowingly.
Reuters: OpenAI is racing to lock in a $30B round at a $1.4T+ valuation before Anthropic's mid-November IPO soaks up the same investors — a sweaty Altman sprints for the wallets while the IPO doors swing open.Zimbo for AI News Page
