Contrarian: GPT-6 by June 2026 at 42¢ Is Overhyped Hype-Cycle Pricing
GPT-6 by June 2026 surged 19 cents in a single day to 42 cents on vibes and OpenAI marketing signals — not a product announcement. OpenAI has repeatedly slipped major release timelines (GPT-5 was delayed months), and a June 2026 hard deadline is just 8 weeks away. The market is pricing OpenAI's aspiration, not their track record. Sell the hype by buying NO — the base rate for hitting ambitious AI release windows is well below 42%.

Any OpenAI blog post or Sam Altman statement in next 2 weeks either confirms or deflates June timeline
Risk
OpenAI surprise-drops GPT-6 or announces an imminent release date, sending odds to 80%+ and crushing the NO position
