Notable quotes

“I think the bare case is AI will somehow become genius. Tokens cost will be next to zero and we'll have this literally millions of Einsteins in a data center but Einstein's in a true sense not only reasoning in the sense of replacing a person and I can assign them to every work in an enterprise and they will just do it that's the bare case against us.”

“This tool is essential to increase productivity — with population aging and the need to sustain economic growth, increasing productivity through AI is the only way to keep the economy growing, so we shouldn't fixate only on doomsday scenarios.”

“If I had to choose between OpenAI at $160, Anthropic at $40 or xAI at $50 right now, I'd pick Anthropic — I think the upside is bigger given its enterprise focus.”
