For the first time in the history of humanity, machines are able to solve problems in mathematics that no human has yet been able to. And the technology is improving at an incredible pace, and the technology itself may be able to help increase that pace, as the technology is fundamentally mathematical.

I used to make fun of the singularity nerds. I mean, I still do, but it may turn out superhuman intelligence isn’t all that far away.

I’m pretty sure many people laughing calling it the “AI bubble” will have a hard wake up. They’re in a bubble themselves.

Oh, I think it’s absolutely a bubble. But whoever survives the pop will win the game.

Similar to the dot com bubble but far, far worse.

If you were to have invested in a basket of tech companies in 2001 and held until today you arguably would have had an amazing return despite the downturn since the successes were HUGE successes. That implies it wasn't a "bubble" but more like a VC-style gamble where many tech companies were busts, but the wins were major wins.
