SoftBank posts loss, with a cumulative loss of $6.3B in its Vision Fund business
techcrunch.com> For your piece, the Vision Funds actually posted a GAIN for the quarter of $0.8 billion, including shared assets such as its ARM holdings.
Is this ChatGPT? The “For your piece” seems so weird in a human written work.
Yep, very odd, my guess would be this was sent to the reporter by their comms contact at Softbank and they literally copy/pasted it.
For context, here’s the full paragraph. The positive framing (“a GAIN”, and “significantly less…”) makes me think this came from someone spinning on Softbank’s behalf.

Stripping out shared assets, SoftBank’s Vision Fund 1 and 2 and its Latin American fund together posted a quarterly investment loss of 13 billion yen ($91 million) — significantly less than the 2,919 billion yen loss a year ago ($20 billion).
Yeah I noticed that too. Given how often corporate writes these articles for editors I wouldn’t be surprised if someone copy pasted and then forgot that edit.
Feels like a submarine accidentally surfaced
Yeah I noticed that. Unlike others that think it was material handed to the author by corporate relations, I agree with your assessment. It’s an AI artifact.
Seen and confirmed (before the author removes it - if they care to)
Got to IPO ARM before the riffraff realizes RISC-V is inevitable.
