Good news. After massive public backlash from both retail & pension funds, S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that it will keep its existing eligibility requirements for benchmarks including the S&P 500, closing the door to fast entry for big tech IPOs like SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI and delaying billions of dollars in flows from passive funds.

The timeline of Tridge’s response in particular can be broke down like so:

1. AI skeptics say "LLMs create difficult-to-evaluate defects, even if you're careful"
2. Tridge introduces defects even though he was careful
3. he gets yelled at
4. His response is to say "you dinosaurs don't appreciate how *careful* I was!"

How can a package be out for delivery for three days and still not delivered? 😠
