Right now it looks to me like AI basically is eating everything and it might eat itself. What I mean by that is
00:00:09
not produce adequate profits. When we look at the bubble question on AI, what a lot of people don't realize in bubbles
00:00:18
is that through all technologies they think that they are betting on the technology when they buy the stocks and
00:00:26
the companies. That's not true. There's a giant difference between the behavior
00:00:31
of the companies and the behavior of the technologies. The norm is that a lot of
00:00:37
companies won't survive in the start, very small percentage, and they'll all
00:00:42
fight and so on, but the technologies will go on and it'll be great. That has
00:00:46
big implications.
