Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Do we think that a pop of an AI bubble will not result in a massive wipe all across the board, not just with "AI enablers"? These companies are also going to lose value in a recession.

(IIUC) Like David said, it's a hedge against the bubble being real. GS certainly isn't pulling back from the void yet.

I also didn't say it's a good hedge. It'll stay uncorrelated right up to the moment you need it to, when it'll crash in lockstep.

Investing is all about relative performance. If you think 'AI' stocks are a bubble. you think that some other stocks will do better than them over the next five years, and you can allocate your assets accordingly.
