Idk it not worth nothing. Snap whole market cap $9b and yet we apparently paying trillions for commoditized “frontier” LLMs that are political nightmares with major leadership questions. $snap is cheap. Specs will get a minority investor. Snap snap can do $1 in FCF / share next year. Consensus is always wrong at these moments.

@dede_eyesan I'm sure $CAAP would bid as well if there is an open process. Ultimately would imagine government is just going to sell to Brookfield though.

Maybe this earlier post is hyperbolic. But Specs potential is real and the applications are very real and the implied value to $snap is negative. Btw go back and look at all my snap tweets - been as big a bear as any of you. But the worm is turning. Sub business 85% yy $1b+ rr and ads stable and 16% HC reduction to cut $500mn opex and SBC offset by buyback. So there’s a lot to like here and if specs can get a minority investor which i think is much more likely after today then game on. Oh and by the way snap could still cut opex by 50% just to get in line with $rddt on cost/employee.

Specs might be the only tech in the world that could fully replace your phone and your life would be better. What's that worth? $snap

Learning applications for Specs are going to insane. Forget tablets or laptops. Every school in America should give their kids some Specs. $snap
