#2Seems like a measured approach- my read is him saying it’s probably a bubble in that bad ideas are being funded too, but there are a lot of really good ideas doing well.
Also nit: Typo right in the digest I assume, assuming “suring” is “during”, does cnbc proofread their content?

#3I think most level-headed people can see this is a giant bubble which will eventually burst like the dot-com crash. And AI is technology that's hard to understand to non-technical (and even some technical) investors.
But of course, every company needs to slap AI on their product now just to be seen as a viable product.
Personally, I look forward to seeing the bubble burst and being left with a more rational view of AI and what it can (and can not) do.

How is AI hard to understand when you enter a cafe and everyone is chatting with their LLM?

dotcom bubble had tons of activity, too.
it was making money off those idea at the valuations expected that was problem.
the Internet really did revolutionize things, in substantial ways, but not to the tune of millions of dollars for pets.com

OpenAI has a reasonable path to reduce their costs by 10-100x over the next 5 years if they stop improving the models. That would make them an extremely profitable company with their only real risk being “local ai”. However customers have wanted their data in the cloud for years, local inference would likely just mean 0 cost tokens for OpenAI.
The challenge is the rest of the industry funding dead companies with billions of dollars on the off chance they replicate OpenAI’s success.

#10What is going on with AI right now could be a bubble just like there was the dotcom bubble. But it isn't like the internet went away after the dotcom burst. The largest companies in existence today are internet companies or have products that wouldn't make sense without the internet.
Sure, many of these "thin prompt wrapper around the OpenAI API" product "businesses" will all be gone within a few years. But AI? That is going to be here indefinitely.
