And I think figuring out the answer to those questions is going to just be huge. I believe we are past the “hype cycle,” as seen by the destruction of market caps in AI companies like C3 AI, and we have transitioned to a productive stage. And a breakthrough may be brewing in the field of AI. What happens after the widescale adoption of artificial intelligence is especially frightening and unpredictable. And I think this is one of these areas where there will be these new $100 billion to $1 trillion companies started, and those areas are rare. In a matter of less than a year, they were able to improve the algorithm with massive computing and datasets. Open AI has built it and is the backbone of most copyrighting software. This could lead to new treatments for conditions like Alzheimer’s and cancer. You will be surprised by the sheer quality if you have used any of them. He brings up a good point that AI is still not able to generate net new knowledge for humanity. But I don’t think we’ve yet seen the people go after the trillion dollar take on Google.
