“No one should be allowed to try and build better AI models than us” - Dario probably How come you never hear $META or $GOOG researchers crying wolf about the imminent dangers of AI? Or any open-sourced AI company? It’s always just Anthropic and OpenAI, which don’t have nearly the cashflow to support their operations like Meta or Alphabet or Alibaba. Let AI defend against AI, not regulation

Stan gave the example of 2001. $CSCO had aggressively grown its backlog every yr through the Internet 1.0 buildout & the Street expected the same in 2001, but instead $CSCO’s backlog plunged. The build was over, & with that equipment demand evaporated. That will happen again. https://t.co/7yB6vDgcl8

my mistake $ADBE has a Nov year end. so it's 12x nov 2027, 14x nov 2026.

I feel $GEO is a pretty decent short here. It's not cheap, and I might be politically biased, but I think it's hard to see Republicans getting many wins in the midterms, which the market will likely extrapolate to 2028.

I'll never understand going long $ADBE at 14x '27 when you can buy $CSU.TO at 15x '27. Maybe because it's Canadian listed.

*NVIDIA IN TALKS TO INVEST UP TO $10B IN ANTHROPIC IPO: REUTERS Anthropic is in talks with $NVDA to bring them on as an anchor investor in the IPO. Probably the least surprising news ever Anthropic is in talks to raise as much as $100B, which would beat out SpaceX Safety or not here they come
