1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:04,300
Ejaaz:
Yesterday, four of the five most valuable companies in the world reported the

2
00:00:04,300 --> 00:00:07,880
Ejaaz:
biggest earnings in tech history within a 90-minute window.

3
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:11,680
Ejaaz:
And now, we have a pretty good idea of whether we're in an AI bubble or not.

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:17,060
Ejaaz:
Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft reported their Q1 quarterly earnings,

5
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:21,040
Ejaaz:
and it blew every single Wall Street analyst's expectations out of the water.

6
00:00:21,180 --> 00:00:22,980
Ejaaz:
Seriously, these numbers are pretty insane.

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,440
Ejaaz:
Google's earning per share was rated 94% above expectations. That's not a typo.

8
00:00:28,780 --> 00:00:34,400
Ejaaz:
94%. And every single cloud business, AWS and Google Cloud reported revenue

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:40,400
Ejaaz:
increase average of 50%, with Google having back orders of half a trillion dollars

10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,160
Ejaaz:
worth of compute orders.

11
00:00:42,660 --> 00:00:47,340
Ejaaz:
Even Meta, who's categorically been behind in the AI race, reported massive

12
00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:50,820
Ejaaz:
growth in revenue for their ad business thanks to AI.

13
00:00:50,980 --> 00:00:55,120
Ejaaz:
In fact, it's so good that they're beating Google at their own business of search advertising.

14
00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,240
Ejaaz:
For two years, AI critics have constantly been saying that we are in an AI bubble.

15
00:01:00,380 --> 00:01:02,940
Ejaaz:
They're saying the house of cards is going to come down, that we're spending

16
00:01:02,940 --> 00:01:06,620
Ejaaz:
too much. The earnings reports of yesterday proved the exact opposite.

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,140
Ejaaz:
All these companies that are spending hundreds of billions of dollars are actually

18
00:01:10,140 --> 00:01:12,380
Ejaaz:
making more money than they ever did before.

19
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,320
Josh:
So are we in a bubble? The answer to that question is probably unequivocally yes.

20
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,640
Josh:
I think we are to some extent, but what is the size of that bubble?

21
00:01:21,460 --> 00:01:24,400
Josh:
Chances are it's much smaller than i think a lot of people think and how

22
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,700
Josh:
much runway is left well i think a lot more than people anticipate and

23
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:30,900
Josh:
we could start with google because that's what you're mentioning a lot i mean their earnings

24
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:33,680
Josh:
report showed we got to start with the capex number so for those

25
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,980
Josh:
who aren't familiar with capex capex is the capital expenditure the amount of

26
00:01:36,980 --> 00:01:41,400
Josh:
money that a company is going to spend over the next x period of time now for

27
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,800
Josh:
google they've provided capex for their next calendar year and they guided even

28
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:51,040
Josh:
higher than they did previously at $180 to $190 billion.

29
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,940
Josh:
This is a tremendous amount of money, like a stupid, crazy amount of money.

30
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,520
Josh:
Their revenue, for reference, $110 billion, is more than Coca-Cola's annual

31
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,880
Josh:
revenue. And this is what they did in a single quarter.

32
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,480
Josh:
One of the most kind of worried about and concerned about categories, Google search.

33
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:11,280
Josh:
I mean, I remember a few months ago, very vividly, we were on the show

34
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,360
Josh:
talking about Google search and whether or not it's going to be a viable business

35
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,740
Josh:
is the chatbot llm interface going to cannibalize google search the answer now

36
00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:26,620
Josh:
is an unequivocal no google search grew 20 to 60 billion dollars which is again

37
00:02:26,620 --> 00:02:30,920
Josh:
just a huge amount of money and i think that the headline here is that

38
00:02:31,490 --> 00:02:36,170
Josh:
Capital expenditure is going up, meaning the money is going to be spent on building

39
00:02:36,170 --> 00:02:40,150
Josh:
out the infrastructure required to scale AI at the same time that they're actually

40
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:45,530
Josh:
generating a lot more profits from their services like Google search and Google cloud.

41
00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:47,970
Josh:
I think one of the themes we're going to notice as we cover these earnings reports

42
00:02:47,970 --> 00:02:51,490
Josh:
is that cloud revenue is kind of the bread and butter of a lot of these companies.

43
00:02:51,550 --> 00:02:53,590
Josh:
And it's accelerating very quick.

44
00:02:53,730 --> 00:02:57,970
Josh:
I mean, for their projected guidance on their cloud revenue that they're going

45
00:02:57,970 --> 00:03:01,430
Josh:
to make next year, they doubled it to about $460 billion.

46
00:03:01,730 --> 00:03:06,430
Josh:
And for reference, that's larger than the GDP of Belgium and roughly equivalent

47
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:10,850
Josh:
to two of Walmart's annual revenues just in cloud search alone.

48
00:03:11,010 --> 00:03:12,750
Josh:
So the Google numbers are incredible.

49
00:03:13,010 --> 00:03:16,970
Josh:
The one thing that really sent me for a loop in terms of how I kind of calculate

50
00:03:16,970 --> 00:03:22,110
Josh:
the guidance of where we are in this AI bubble is a line that Sundar said in the earnings report,

51
00:03:22,430 --> 00:03:28,770
Josh:
CEO of Google, who said their 2027 CapEx will significantly increase Yes.

52
00:03:29,370 --> 00:03:33,030
Josh:
In 2027, next year, compared to this, which is already a record.

53
00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:37,770
Josh:
So they are really guiding towards a very strong 2026, a strong 2027.

54
00:03:37,770 --> 00:03:41,550
Josh:
And that was one of four that really made a pretty big impact on the market.

55
00:03:41,770 --> 00:03:45,250
Ejaaz:
Well, I just want to tell a slightly different story on the Google side,

56
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:49,770
Ejaaz:
because really, it's that cloud business that absolutely killed it.

57
00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:54,090
Ejaaz:
They made $20 billion in the last three months for guidance here,

58
00:03:54,250 --> 00:03:58,650
Ejaaz:
that's around 63% more than they did this same time last year.

59
00:03:58,770 --> 00:04:01,490
Ejaaz:
So it's a massive jump up. But then you might be wondering, well,

60
00:04:01,990 --> 00:04:05,030
Ejaaz:
how amazing is this? How substantial is this?

61
00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:08,890
Ejaaz:
The projections that you just mentioned, the half a trillion dollars,

62
00:04:09,010 --> 00:04:14,030
Ejaaz:
so it's actually $462 billion, I believe, is already locked in orders.

63
00:04:14,290 --> 00:04:17,510
Ejaaz:
It's not a projection. These are orders that they already have on the backlog.

64
00:04:17,690 --> 00:04:21,290
Ejaaz:
And people are waiting for this to happen. In fact, I have a neat little graphic,

65
00:04:21,490 --> 00:04:24,430
Ejaaz:
which shows this because this caption goes, this is so crazy,

66
00:04:24,630 --> 00:04:25,950
Ejaaz:
it literally looks fake.

67
00:04:26,210 --> 00:04:30,850
Ejaaz:
And it shows you the back orders, $460 billion just for Google Cloud alone.

68
00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:36,590
Ejaaz:
This is one of like eight different major business units that feed into the Google profit funnel.

69
00:04:36,730 --> 00:04:40,170
Ejaaz:
So I just want to emphasize that. Now, Sundar also said on the call,

70
00:04:40,350 --> 00:04:44,830
Ejaaz:
we, and I'm quoting this, we are compute constrained in the near term.

71
00:04:45,130 --> 00:04:49,230
Ejaaz:
Our cloud revenue would have actually been higher if we were able to meet the

72
00:04:49,230 --> 00:04:53,870
Ejaaz:
demand. So the point is, they don't have enough supply TPUs and infrastructure,

73
00:04:54,190 --> 00:04:57,250
Ejaaz:
which is, by the way, Google Cloud is one of the biggest cloud providers in the entire world.

74
00:04:57,350 --> 00:05:00,230
Ejaaz:
I think they're like second to AWS, Amazon, which is the biggest one,

75
00:05:00,350 --> 00:05:01,310
Ejaaz:
which we'll talk about in a second.

76
00:05:01,650 --> 00:05:05,070
Ejaaz:
They can't supply enough. Google is like one of the biggest hyperscalers that

77
00:05:05,070 --> 00:05:08,190
Ejaaz:
are out there, and even they can't meet demand. So the point is...

78
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,200
Ejaaz:
The criticism that we're faced around AI bubbles is we're investing in all this AI capex.

79
00:05:14,380 --> 00:05:18,800
Ejaaz:
Google alone is investing, I think, $150 to $200 billion this year to create

80
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,860
Ejaaz:
more TPUs and AI infrastructure to supply the demand.

81
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,020
Ejaaz:
The skepticism has been that there is no demand for this. No one's willing to pay for this.

82
00:05:26,460 --> 00:05:29,660
Ejaaz:
These quarterly earnings prove that categorically incorrect.

83
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,000
Ejaaz:
And we have a half a trillion dollar backlog.

84
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,140
Josh:
Yeah, there's no way that the spending is going to slow down.

85
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:38,160
Josh:
And the fact that the only constraint that they had was compute,

86
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,860
Josh:
not demand, given the profit margins that they already have is pretty telling.

87
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,320
Josh:
I found one funny fact about this is that a lot of the revenue actually came

88
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,240
Josh:
from their private investments getting marked up.

89
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:55,680
Josh:
So of their total net income of $62 billion, 37 of it was unrealized gains on

90
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,320
Josh:
equity securities that includes companies like SpaceX and Anthropic.

91
00:05:58,540 --> 00:06:02,060
Josh:
You mentioned the largest cloud provider, Amazon, who also reported yesterday.

92
00:06:02,060 --> 00:06:07,720
Josh:
They have a similar thing where I think of their net income of $30 billion,

93
00:06:08,540 --> 00:06:12,080
Josh:
16.8 of it was their pre-tax gains on Anthropic shares.

94
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,780
Josh:
So this is very much a circular economy where like they're investing in Anthropic,

95
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,800
Josh:
the Anthropic valuation is rising, a large percent of the net income becomes

96
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,440
Josh:
Anthropic, becomes SpaceX.

97
00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:25,760
Josh:
So earning season when those IPO is going to be pretty crazy,

98
00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:27,240
Josh:
but we have to talk about Amazon.

99
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,940
Josh:
Their AWS services is up 28%, which is their fastest growth they said in 15

100
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:36,900
Josh:
quarters that's 150 billion dollar run rate to put that in context that's larger

101
00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:41,480
Josh:
than the entire annual revenue of disney netflix and spotify combined

102
00:06:42,220 --> 00:06:46,900
Josh:
And that's AWS alone. It's bigger than the entire global movie industry at a

103
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:50,560
Josh:
margin of almost 40%. So again, this is the same story we heard with Google.

104
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,420
Josh:
Their cloud is really just constrained by compute. Their margins are high.

105
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,720
Josh:
They have more demand than they ever had before.

106
00:06:56,980 --> 00:07:01,300
Josh:
And now we're seeing them move into building their own chips and working with other companies.

107
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,900
Josh:
And now that OpenAI is not locked in with Microsoft, we're seeing them start

108
00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:07,440
Josh:
to serve OpenAI infrastructure as well through their bedrock.

109
00:07:07,580 --> 00:07:09,960
Josh:
It's a really impressive range report from Amazon as well.

110
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,200
Ejaaz:
There's been a trend shift with Amazon in particular.

111
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,800
Ejaaz:
Now, if you talk to an average person about Amazon a few years ago,

112
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:20,920
Ejaaz:
they'd be like, oh, yeah, it's that e-commerce company. It's where I order my toilet paper from.

113
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,600
Ejaaz:
Amazon has undergone a very categorical shift into the compute infrastructure

114
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,260
Ejaaz:
and distribution service.

115
00:07:28,380 --> 00:07:31,400
Ejaaz:
Now, that sounds like a lot of buzz terms. Let me explain what that means.

116
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,200
Ejaaz:
AWS is basically the bedrock for any internet company that exists today.

117
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,760
Ejaaz:
If it runs online, it's most likely running off of Amazon's AWS servers.

118
00:07:42,020 --> 00:07:45,900
Ejaaz:
And so what that means is, okay, you can run a website, you can service all

119
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:48,100
Ejaaz:
the requests that you have from people trying to buy stuff from you.

120
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,620
Ejaaz:
But with this recent AI shift, Amazon looked at it and thought, huh.

121
00:07:52,220 --> 00:07:56,820
Ejaaz:
This looks really similar. We could be the distributor and infrastructure providers for AI.

122
00:07:56,980 --> 00:08:01,140
Ejaaz:
And guess what they already had? A bedrock of customers that already had that.

123
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,560
Ejaaz:
And I use bedrock very specifically, by the way, because their main AI part

124
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,400
Ejaaz:
is literally pun very much intended, was called or is called Amazon Bedrock.

125
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,240
Ejaaz:
And just over the last week, they now officially are going to be the main distributor

126
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,500
Ejaaz:
for OpenAI's chat GPT models.

127
00:08:16,620 --> 00:08:22,320
Ejaaz:
Now, the reason why that's a big thing is because Microsoft was the sole cloud provider for OpenAI.

128
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,960
Ejaaz:
But this week, that contract broke, which meant that OpenAI can now serve their

129
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,400
Ejaaz:
models through whatever distributor they want.

130
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,520
Ejaaz:
And the first door that they were knocking on was Andy Jassy at Amazon saying,

131
00:08:32,660 --> 00:08:34,660
Ejaaz:
hey, we would love to be the main provider. Why?

132
00:08:34,820 --> 00:08:38,320
Ejaaz:
Because Amazon has connections to all the enterprise companies.

133
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,500
Ejaaz:
They service all the government's AI requests and all the Fortune 500 companies' AI requests.

134
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,720
Ejaaz:
They run all the servers. No one wants to pick the model. No one wants to set

135
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,640
Ejaaz:
up the dev environment. AWS has got you and they are creating a crazy business

136
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,760
Ejaaz:
for this. Like you mentioned, 28% growth.

137
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:54,240
Ejaaz:
That's almost $40 billion they've made over the last three months.

138
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,340
Ejaaz:
The fastest growth in the last four years.

139
00:08:57,460 --> 00:09:01,000
Ejaaz:
That is not an anomaly because in Q4, we were saying the same thing when we

140
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,580
Ejaaz:
were reporting on their earnings as well.

141
00:09:02,820 --> 00:09:06,400
Ejaaz:
And it's good to see that the market is now finally starting to understand that.

142
00:09:06,540 --> 00:09:09,420
Ejaaz:
And they, this week, actually breached their all-time highs.

143
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,280
Ejaaz:
I think it breached over $260 price per share, which is insane.

144
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,760
Ejaaz:
And the final point I want to make about Amazon and Google, actually,

145
00:09:16,980 --> 00:09:18,560
Ejaaz:
is there's a common theme.

146
00:09:18,860 --> 00:09:24,240
Ejaaz:
Now, if you look at total revenue earned by both of these companies, it's increased...

147
00:09:24,740 --> 00:09:28,200
Ejaaz:
By a decent amount, but not like mind-blowing amounts.

148
00:09:28,340 --> 00:09:32,220
Ejaaz:
Where you need to look is the profit margins that both of these companies have

149
00:09:32,220 --> 00:09:33,180
Ejaaz:
made over the last three months.

150
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:39,320
Ejaaz:
That has expanded on average by around 50%. I wanna reemphasize that point.

151
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,640
Ejaaz:
50% for their cloud businesses, which means that AI chips, which is what both

152
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,760
Ejaaz:
Google and Amazon provide, and their cloud services allows them to eat more

153
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,220
Ejaaz:
profit on the margins, which is very good if you're any kind of a shareholder

154
00:09:53,220 --> 00:09:54,140
Ejaaz:
of either of these companies.

155
00:09:54,660 --> 00:09:58,320
Josh:
Yeah. And the pricing elasticity is very high too. It's not like they are out

156
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,820
Josh:
of customers. They just don't have the compute.

157
00:09:59,980 --> 00:10:03,040
Josh:
So theoretically they could raise these prices, increase those margins quite

158
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,020
Josh:
a bit. And people will still continue to pay.

159
00:10:05,140 --> 00:10:09,240
Josh:
Like I know for a fact, like someone like open AI can double the cost to serve it.

160
00:10:09,460 --> 00:10:12,460
Josh:
And Amazon could forward that onto the customer. People would still pay.

161
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,660
Josh:
And Amazon's CapEx, again, at $200 billion.

162
00:10:16,020 --> 00:10:19,120
Josh:
To put that into perspective, it's larger than the entire annual

163
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,440
Josh:
CapEx of the US oil and gas industry

164
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,260
Josh:
like this is a huge amount of money

165
00:10:25,260 --> 00:10:28,140
Josh:
and then we have one other quote from the earnings report

166
00:10:28,140 --> 00:10:30,860
Josh:
which i thought was was fun it was uh andy jassy

167
00:10:30,860 --> 00:10:34,240
Josh:
talking about the combination of their industry-leading price

168
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,440
Josh:
performance tranium custom silicon market leading

169
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,840
Josh:
gravitons cpus and their core aws he's

170
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,960
Josh:
basically describing as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity he said amazon and

171
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,040
Josh:
his shareholders will be very well off in the future as amazon

172
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,180
Josh:
crossed a new all-time high so it's very exciting

173
00:10:50,180 --> 00:10:53,020
Josh:
to see all of these numbers go up and we don't even we didn't

174
00:10:53,020 --> 00:10:55,680
Josh:
even talk about their logistics business like the part of

175
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:58,820
Josh:
amazon that we interact with on a daily basis when you order groceries or order

176
00:10:58,820 --> 00:11:01,960
Josh:
things from amazon it's just an unbelievable business there's like 10 different

177
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,200
Josh:
businesses and i think that's the theme of a lot of these larger mega cap companies

178
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,300
Josh:
is as they take as they have their cash flow coming in they're going to spend

179
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:12,200
Josh:
it efficiently and they're going to increase their margins elsewhere what an

180
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,620
Josh:
incredible business well well

181
00:11:13,620 --> 00:11:16,900
Ejaaz:
Let's speak about the cash flow for a second because we sound very rosy right

182
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:19,260
Ejaaz:
now and that it's like the best companies in the world. Now,

183
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,760
Ejaaz:
I want to point out two things.

184
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:29,800
Ejaaz:
As of the end of Q1, Amazon has now spent around or committed to spending 94% of their free cash flow.

185
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,940
Ejaaz:
We're talking about like money that they have available coming in through operating

186
00:11:33,940 --> 00:11:37,120
Ejaaz:
income and through money that they have on the cash balance sheet.

187
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:41,120
Ejaaz:
Out of the four companies that we're speaking about today, they are the most

188
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,800
Ejaaz:
aggressive spenders on AI infra.

189
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,640
Ejaaz:
And the bet that Andy Jassy, the CEO, was making was, we're doing this intentionally

190
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,580
Ejaaz:
because we know for a fact that we're going to make money from this.

191
00:11:53,020 --> 00:11:57,960
Ejaaz:
And the projections or the reported earnings from Q1 has proven that exact point,

192
00:11:58,060 --> 00:12:00,100
Ejaaz:
but it's still a very aggressive maneuver, right?

193
00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:04,480
Ejaaz:
Like as of the next three months, you could argue that either if they don't

194
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,860
Ejaaz:
have enough money or they run into some kind of hurdle, they might need to start

195
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:10,080
Ejaaz:
having debt financing and start borrowing money.

196
00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:13,580
Ejaaz:
Now, as of today that we're speaking about and reported on these earnings,

197
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,520
Ejaaz:
they aren't in a levered position.

198
00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:19,640
Ejaaz:
So for everyone saying that we're in an AI bubble, an AI bubble by definition

199
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,940
Ejaaz:
means that these companies are levered up on their balance sheet.

200
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,560
Ejaaz:
Neither of the companies that we're talking about today, Google,

201
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:28,640
Ejaaz:
Amazon, and Meta and Microsoft, which we're about to, are levered.

202
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,840
Ejaaz:
So I disagree with your earlier point, Josh, because basically,

203
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,500
Ejaaz:
I don't think we're in a bubble yet. Big, big emphasis on yet.

204
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,540
Josh:
Well, I think we're definitely aligned on being bullish about where we are in

205
00:12:39,540 --> 00:12:43,500
Josh:
this stage of the market, whatever it is, that there's a lot of runway left.

206
00:12:43,620 --> 00:12:46,340
Josh:
But there's an interesting dynamic to that point around free cash flow,

207
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,920
Josh:
which is the money that basically is left over after all their expenses,

208
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:50,440
Josh:
A lot of that is flowing out.

209
00:12:50,540 --> 00:12:55,640
Josh:
Like you mentioned, about 95% of Amazon's earnings, the free cash is flowing out. And this

210
00:12:56,020 --> 00:12:59,400
Josh:
is kind of inverting what we've traditionally had in the markets.

211
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,020
Josh:
Generally, Amazon, Google, these companies have absorbed all of the cash and

212
00:13:03,020 --> 00:13:04,400
Josh:
they have a tremendous amount of free cash flow.

213
00:13:04,660 --> 00:13:07,580
Josh:
Now they're spending it. You're seeing a lot of money going out the door.

214
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:10,280
Josh:
The capex is between the four companies we're going to cover is what,

215
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,000
Josh:
600, 700 billion dollars.

216
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,820
Josh:
The question is like, where is that money flowing to? Because the reality is

217
00:13:15,820 --> 00:13:20,740
Josh:
that while cash flow is coming out of Amazon, it is finding its way into other companies as well.

218
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,300
Josh:
And we're starting to see this with companies like Bloom Energy,

219
00:13:24,540 --> 00:13:28,600
Josh:
who we famously mentioned on the show a few months ago and then a few weeks

220
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,680
Josh:
ago and still have not filled large enough bags to see the upside of this,

221
00:13:32,780 --> 00:13:33,500
Josh:
which is very frustrating.

222
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,680
Josh:
But Bloom Energy is up 1400% on

223
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:38,780
Josh:
the year. And this is one example of where that free cash flow is going.

224
00:13:39,060 --> 00:13:42,280
Josh:
When companies are building, they're spending this capex, they need to create

225
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,660
Josh:
data centers, they need the shell, they need the energy, they need the chips.

226
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:49,940
Josh:
Bloom Energy is an energy part of that equation. And it's clearly captured a

227
00:13:49,940 --> 00:13:53,420
Josh:
lot because it was just up 24% yesterday on huge earnings.

228
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:58,000
Josh:
And now Leopold, in the most recent 13F filing, he had a position of 875 million,

229
00:13:58,020 --> 00:14:00,340
Josh:
is now in a position worth $2.7 billion.

230
00:14:00,860 --> 00:14:04,000
Josh:
This is one example of the money. The other, I guess we have SanDisk that we

231
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:04,920
Josh:
should probably mention briefly.

232
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,020
Josh:
If you invested in SanDisk two years ago, you're up 30 times your money.

233
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,680
Josh:
Like 30X, every $1,000 you put in is $30,000. Why is that?

234
00:14:13,780 --> 00:14:16,660
Josh:
Well, because one of the critical thresholds and something that we heard on

235
00:14:16,660 --> 00:14:20,220
Josh:
all of the four earnings reports that we're gonna mention is that memory is

236
00:14:20,220 --> 00:14:21,660
Josh:
a serious supply constraint.

237
00:14:22,290 --> 00:14:26,150
Josh:
And the costs associated with that are going up and the companies are just absorbing that.

238
00:14:26,270 --> 00:14:31,710
Josh:
I think it was maybe Amazon or Meta who added $25 billion in CapEx just for

239
00:14:31,710 --> 00:14:33,510
Josh:
the increased cost of these goods.

240
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:36,010
Josh:
And companies like Sandisk are the ones that are absorbing those.

241
00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:40,290
Josh:
So we're seeing for the first time in a while, the money flowing downhill from

242
00:14:40,290 --> 00:14:43,270
Josh:
these like mega cap companies down into the core infrastructure.

243
00:14:43,410 --> 00:14:45,970
Josh:
And I think that's an inversion that hasn't quite been priced in because it

244
00:14:45,970 --> 00:14:47,350
Josh:
hasn't been that way in a really long time.

245
00:14:47,690 --> 00:14:51,530
Ejaaz:
Exactly. And so the theme that we've spoken about for the companies so far,

246
00:14:51,630 --> 00:14:55,570
Ejaaz:
Google and Amazon, has been very much on AI CapEx spending, on Google Cloud,

247
00:14:55,750 --> 00:15:00,690
Ejaaz:
on Amazon Web Services, and whether there is customer demand for the infra.

248
00:15:01,010 --> 00:15:03,910
Ejaaz:
Now, another company that we want to speak about today is Meta.

249
00:15:04,010 --> 00:15:07,610
Ejaaz:
And in fact, they're the company that added an additional $35 or $25 billion

250
00:15:07,610 --> 00:15:09,970
Ejaaz:
for CapEx to their CapEx spend this year.

251
00:15:10,290 --> 00:15:13,550
Ejaaz:
They're playing in a bit of a different field. Like, Meta is,

252
00:15:14,010 --> 00:15:18,090
Ejaaz:
for better or worse, a social media company, but they're really,

253
00:15:18,310 --> 00:15:20,950
Ejaaz:
really good at making money from advertising.

254
00:15:21,210 --> 00:15:24,250
Ejaaz:
And for the longest period of time, it's been Meta versus Google.

255
00:15:24,390 --> 00:15:28,910
Ejaaz:
And Google has, quite frankly, always won. They're the doormat to the internet,

256
00:15:29,070 --> 00:15:30,550
Ejaaz:
right? They have dominated search.

257
00:15:30,730 --> 00:15:34,050
Ejaaz:
And Meta has come close, but never quite as close, right?

258
00:15:34,610 --> 00:15:38,090
Ejaaz:
Except for the last three months where they started integrating AI,

259
00:15:38,590 --> 00:15:41,670
Ejaaz:
specifically their newer models and Manus who they acquired for $2 billion,

260
00:15:41,950 --> 00:15:43,070
Ejaaz:
which just got blocked by China.

261
00:15:43,210 --> 00:15:45,390
Ejaaz:
And that's a whole other thing. You should go check out our episode that we

262
00:15:45,390 --> 00:15:47,170
Ejaaz:
published earlier this week.

263
00:15:48,110 --> 00:15:55,590
Ejaaz:
The point being is Meta started integrating AI and they started having higher AI search conversions.

264
00:15:55,910 --> 00:15:59,410
Ejaaz:
Now, I need to make it very clear. SEO, search engine optimization,

265
00:15:59,550 --> 00:16:04,450
Ejaaz:
is a huge business and companies and advertisers pay billions and billions of

266
00:16:04,450 --> 00:16:09,710
Ejaaz:
dollars per year just to get access and put their product in front of the right profile of person.

267
00:16:10,170 --> 00:16:14,190
Ejaaz:
Meta is pioneering the AI version of that. And we were kind of in the dark.

268
00:16:14,330 --> 00:16:16,950
Ejaaz:
They were kind of behind on the AI race. They don't have a frontier model.

269
00:16:16,950 --> 00:16:19,870
Ejaaz:
So we didn't know whether they could actually pull this off.

270
00:16:20,010 --> 00:16:21,710
Ejaaz:
And the data has shown that they can.

271
00:16:21,850 --> 00:16:27,530
Ejaaz:
They beat earnings per share by 53%, and their revenue is up 33% year over year,

272
00:16:27,650 --> 00:16:30,650
Ejaaz:
which is just categorically very impressive.

273
00:16:30,850 --> 00:16:33,850
Ejaaz:
And I think we're going to start to see more of these things happen with other

274
00:16:33,850 --> 00:16:36,890
Ejaaz:
such companies, Google being the most obvious one, where everyone thought AI

275
00:16:36,890 --> 00:16:40,590
Ejaaz:
was going to eat into their search revenue, and they're up 20% over the quarter.

276
00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:45,270
Ejaaz:
So overall, I think Meta, and it's not just an AI CapEx infra thing.

277
00:16:45,270 --> 00:16:51,010
Ejaaz:
It's also AI bleeding into every single other type of product category and also making them money.

278
00:16:51,130 --> 00:16:53,990
Ejaaz:
So the demand for this thing, for this technology is insatiable.

279
00:16:54,230 --> 00:16:57,270
Ejaaz:
And the lesson that I'm hearing from all these three companies that we've spoken

280
00:16:57,270 --> 00:17:00,310
Ejaaz:
about so far is there's not enough compute to go around.

281
00:17:00,730 --> 00:17:03,490
Josh:
Okay. So Ijoz, I'm hearing you say all these positive things about meta,

282
00:17:03,510 --> 00:17:07,390
Josh:
and then I'm looking at the stock today and it's down 9%. So clearly there's

283
00:17:07,390 --> 00:17:10,490
Josh:
a disconnect between the market and the numbers. And we've seen this before.

284
00:17:10,650 --> 00:17:12,770
Josh:
People sell on the news, even when it's good sometimes.

285
00:17:12,950 --> 00:17:15,830
Josh:
But do you have any ideas as to why this is happening?

286
00:17:16,510 --> 00:17:21,510
Ejaaz:
I think Meta's been getting a lot of hate, justifiably, because they've made

287
00:17:21,510 --> 00:17:22,750
Ejaaz:
a few different blunders.

288
00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:25,190
Ejaaz:
We mentioned on a previous episode that Zuck has.

289
00:17:25,190 --> 00:17:25,750
Josh:
Gone on an

290
00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:29,630
Ejaaz:
Acquisition spree and barely any of them have paid off. And his most recent,

291
00:17:29,790 --> 00:17:32,510
Ejaaz:
most successful one is now getting unwound and blocked by China.

292
00:17:32,690 --> 00:17:35,890
Ejaaz:
So it's not a good streak for him in general. But I think the market reaction

293
00:17:35,890 --> 00:17:42,370
Ejaaz:
is specifically because advertising in itself is more of a variable business

294
00:17:42,370 --> 00:17:45,410
Ejaaz:
versus something as hard to find as compute.

295
00:17:45,550 --> 00:17:48,810
Ejaaz:
You have recurring customers with compute, with AWS, with Google Cloud.

296
00:17:49,010 --> 00:17:52,230
Ejaaz:
You have contracts that you sign, long-term contracts with these enterprises,

297
00:17:52,230 --> 00:17:54,230
Ejaaz:
and you know they're going to keep coming back. With advertising,

298
00:17:54,450 --> 00:17:55,890
Ejaaz:
it's kind of like, do you think Google.

299
00:17:55,890 --> 00:17:56,370
Josh:
Is going to create

300
00:17:56,370 --> 00:17:59,570
Ejaaz:
A better AI search optimization system next quarter? Maybe.

301
00:17:59,830 --> 00:18:03,030
Ejaaz:
And I think the meta FUD is just oversold at this point. I think people are

302
00:18:03,030 --> 00:18:05,730
Ejaaz:
looking at it as a social media company versus an advertising business.

303
00:18:05,870 --> 00:18:09,910
Ejaaz:
And if I were a meta investor right now, I'd probably be adding on to my position.

304
00:18:10,550 --> 00:18:13,770
Josh:
Yeah, it may be helpful for people to reconsider these companies because a lot

305
00:18:13,770 --> 00:18:17,210
Josh:
of the times the way that they interface with these companies is through the consumer layer.

306
00:18:17,370 --> 00:18:20,610
Josh:
It's like on Amazon, you're interfacing with their Amazon mobile app.

307
00:18:20,810 --> 00:18:23,730
Josh:
On Meta, you're interfacing with Instagram or Facebook. But the reality is,

308
00:18:23,830 --> 00:18:27,730
Josh:
is that there's huge businesses built on the backs of these that is far larger

309
00:18:27,730 --> 00:18:30,790
Josh:
than the actual core business that you're interfacing with on a daily basis,

310
00:18:30,910 --> 00:18:34,110
Josh:
which is interesting. Now, Meadow was perhaps the biggest loser today,

311
00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:35,170
Josh:
just in terms of price performance.

312
00:18:35,390 --> 00:18:37,590
Josh:
The second biggest loser was Microsoft.

313
00:18:37,930 --> 00:18:41,470
Josh:
Now, Microsoft should surprise no one. They're having a little bit of a difficult

314
00:18:41,470 --> 00:18:46,190
Josh:
time when it comes to kind of being at the forefront of AI, but not in terms

315
00:18:46,190 --> 00:18:47,990
Josh:
of their cloud or their infrastructure.

316
00:18:48,270 --> 00:18:51,850
Josh:
Because like everyone else, they have more demand than they know what to do with.

317
00:18:51,970 --> 00:18:55,350
Josh:
They have incredibly high margins and they're doing really well,

318
00:18:55,570 --> 00:18:57,530
Josh:
pretty much across the board. They generated great numbers.

319
00:18:57,950 --> 00:19:00,630
Josh:
One of the things that I think surprised investors, perhaps the reason

320
00:19:00,630 --> 00:19:03,870
Josh:
why it's down today is because this capex number it grew

321
00:19:03,870 --> 00:19:06,590
Josh:
to 190 billion for the calendar year

322
00:19:06,590 --> 00:19:10,130
Josh:
of 2026 and that includes 25 percent boost

323
00:19:10,130 --> 00:19:13,230
Josh:
from previous estimates because of this higher component pricing

324
00:19:13,230 --> 00:19:16,970
Josh:
now for reference for framing that's more than the gdp of greece it's more in

325
00:19:16,970 --> 00:19:21,130
Josh:
the annual capex of boeing lockheed martin and general motors combined basically

326
00:19:21,130 --> 00:19:26,210
Josh:
the entire defense industry so it's a tremendous amount of spending on a business

327
00:19:26,210 --> 00:19:29,770
Josh:
that i think a lot of people are a little confused on They had some issues recently

328
00:19:29,770 --> 00:19:31,470
Josh:
with the Microsoft and opening a restructuring.

329
00:19:31,550 --> 00:19:34,750
Josh:
The partnership agreement that happened earlier this week, it sucks down a little

330
00:19:34,750 --> 00:19:38,590
Josh:
bit, but it seems overall, as long as Microsoft is leaning into their cloud

331
00:19:38,590 --> 00:19:39,990
Josh:
infrastructure, they're going to be okay.

332
00:19:40,450 --> 00:19:44,930
Ejaaz:
Yeah, I think I relatively agree. Okay, so the reason why I say relatively,

333
00:19:45,430 --> 00:19:49,070
Ejaaz:
their cloud business, Azure, is a beast. It's up 40%.

334
00:19:49,530 --> 00:19:54,030
Ejaaz:
They're printing money. They're just not printing as much money versus their

335
00:19:54,030 --> 00:19:57,110
Ejaaz:
competitors, which happened to release their same earnings report within the

336
00:19:57,110 --> 00:19:59,850
Ejaaz:
same 90 minutes. window, right? So AWS,

337
00:20:00,650 --> 00:20:03,290
Ejaaz:
blew them out the water. And they are like the biggest car business.

338
00:20:03,410 --> 00:20:05,590
Ejaaz:
So if you're a smaller car business, such as Microsoft Azure,

339
00:20:05,770 --> 00:20:08,870
Ejaaz:
you kind of want to be putting up bigger percentage increases. This wasn't the case.

340
00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:13,530
Ejaaz:
Google Cloud also crushed them as well. So comparatively, if you were looking

341
00:20:13,530 --> 00:20:18,650
Ejaaz:
at all three businesses, even though Microsoft's stat statistical increase is

342
00:20:18,650 --> 00:20:22,070
Ejaaz:
better, you're probably going to want to buy Amazon and Google over this.

343
00:20:22,170 --> 00:20:23,850
Ejaaz:
But that might also be an opportunity for you.

344
00:20:24,010 --> 00:20:27,530
Ejaaz:
The other reason, and I want to put my bear hat on for a second with Microsoft.

345
00:20:28,090 --> 00:20:30,490
Ejaaz:
Josh, what's the name of the AI leader at Microsoft?

346
00:20:31,290 --> 00:20:31,810
Josh:
Copilot?

347
00:20:32,690 --> 00:20:36,710
Ejaaz:
No, I mean the person that leads the AI team. Oh, I have no idea.

348
00:20:37,090 --> 00:20:38,670
Ejaaz:
Exactly. That's my point.

349
00:20:38,710 --> 00:20:39,070
Josh:
Not a clue.

350
00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:45,890
Ejaaz:
So the leader of AI at Microsoft, I believe his name is Mustafa Saleman,

351
00:20:46,390 --> 00:20:51,610
Ejaaz:
just has been sitting at the helm and not really delivering on the products that you would expect.

352
00:20:51,810 --> 00:20:56,270
Ejaaz:
And like Anthropic, OpenAI, and even Google have been absolutely running circles

353
00:20:56,270 --> 00:21:00,910
Ejaaz:
around them, right? So remember, Microsoft CoPilot and the OpenAI partnership

354
00:21:00,910 --> 00:21:03,770
Ejaaz:
were the earliest partnerships that you could make.

355
00:21:04,110 --> 00:21:09,350
Ejaaz:
Microsoft, best investor in the room here, put in $13 billion into OpenAI,

356
00:21:09,490 --> 00:21:14,570
Ejaaz:
and it is currently worth $132 billion, 27% stake in OpenAI.

357
00:21:14,910 --> 00:21:19,910
Ejaaz:
And even with that, what is it, a year and a half lead across any of the competitors,

358
00:21:20,170 --> 00:21:23,810
Ejaaz:
they still couldn't figure out how to make CoPilot a really good AI assistant.

359
00:21:23,810 --> 00:21:27,110
Ejaaz:
And the adoption rate for Copilot across all the enterprise customers,

360
00:21:27,250 --> 00:21:29,930
Ejaaz:
which by the way, they already have in a contract.

361
00:21:30,130 --> 00:21:32,910
Ejaaz:
People just didn't want to use it. They requested Claude.

362
00:21:33,130 --> 00:21:37,350
Ejaaz:
They requested ChatGPT directly. And you know what Microsoft has done in response,

363
00:21:37,510 --> 00:21:39,270
Ejaaz:
what Mustafa Salomon has done in response?

364
00:21:39,630 --> 00:21:42,390
Ejaaz:
He's created Microsoft Features,

365
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,700
Ejaaz:
are backed by Claude and ChatGPT. And now their partnership is broken.

366
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,280
Ejaaz:
Microsoft still has control over the IP, but what happens when that IP runs

367
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,960
Ejaaz:
out in, what is it, three, four years time?

368
00:21:54,300 --> 00:21:56,920
Ejaaz:
What are they going to do then? They won't be a forefront. And I think people

369
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,620
Ejaaz:
are projecting that bear case in the future and they're deciding just to go

370
00:22:00,620 --> 00:22:03,880
Ejaaz:
with a safer option, which is Google or Amazon. That seems right.

371
00:22:04,020 --> 00:22:07,700
Josh:
Yeah, Microsoft, they've really just kind of missed when it comes to adopting AI.

372
00:22:07,900 --> 00:22:10,520
Josh:
There's another earnings report that I'm very excited about that by the time

373
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,820
Josh:
you're listening to this episode is out, which is Apple's.

374
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,840
Josh:
I think that's going to be interesting to see how they're starting to navigate

375
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,040
Josh:
this new paradigm shift where they're slowly moving into AI.

376
00:22:19,540 --> 00:22:22,440
Josh:
I know WWDC is coming in June. Hopefully, we get Apple Intelligence.

377
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,880
Josh:
I mean, of all these companies, they're serving the infrastructure,

378
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,440
Josh:
but in terms of where that infrastructure is actually served,

379
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,820
Josh:
that's all on Apple devices. It's on all the MacBooks. It's on all the iPhones.

380
00:22:31,980 --> 00:22:35,600
Josh:
So that's going to be really interesting to see. I see a hyperscaler cloud growth

381
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,460
Josh:
chart here. Do you want to talk about this for a sec?

382
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,860
Ejaaz:
No, I just wanted to like, as we round up this segment, because I know there's

383
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:42,140
Ejaaz:
like a lot of numbers here.

384
00:22:42,460 --> 00:22:45,920
Ejaaz:
There's a lot of percentages that we're peddling here. This chart kind of like

385
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,940
Ejaaz:
lays it out pretty clearly what the thesis is and what has been proven in these earnings reports.

386
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,940
Ejaaz:
AI-related profit is up massively.

387
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,880
Ejaaz:
It largely comes out of infrastructure, margin, growth, and that specifically

388
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,220
Ejaaz:
has come out of cloud businesses specifically.

389
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:05,580
Ejaaz:
And who owns the biggest cloud businesses? It's Google, it's Amazon.

390
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,820
Ejaaz:
And even though it's their littlest brother, It's also Microsoft Azure.

391
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,700
Ejaaz:
And this chart I expect to see

392
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:15,420
Ejaaz:
go up and to the right over the next couple of years at the very least.

393
00:23:15,950 --> 00:23:18,690
Josh:
And as long as there's free cash flow coming into these businesses,

394
00:23:19,030 --> 00:23:20,430
Josh:
it's fine that they spend it.

395
00:23:20,650 --> 00:23:22,910
Josh:
That money is going to find a home elsewhere and that's going to improve the

396
00:23:22,910 --> 00:23:26,290
Josh:
whole market. So I think as we wrap this up, you look at the PE ratios,

397
00:23:26,370 --> 00:23:27,190
Josh:
the price to earnings ratio.

398
00:23:27,290 --> 00:23:29,710
Josh:
This is basically how expensive a company is.

399
00:23:30,090 --> 00:23:33,390
Josh:
So price to earnings ratio, money comes in, a stock gets value.

400
00:23:33,750 --> 00:23:37,130
Josh:
This is the multiple at which the premium of how expensive it is.

401
00:23:37,390 --> 00:23:42,970
Josh:
So Meta is trading 16 times earnings. That means it's trading 16 times the forward's

402
00:23:42,970 --> 00:23:44,250
Josh:
projected earnings of the company.

403
00:23:44,250 --> 00:23:47,290
Josh:
On a relative basis that's pretty low we

404
00:23:47,290 --> 00:23:50,190
Josh:
have a comp for the dot-com bubble peak the pe ratio has

405
00:23:50,190 --> 00:23:53,650
Josh:
got fairly high microsoft set 73 times earnings

406
00:23:53,650 --> 00:23:56,550
Josh:
relative to 25 where we are now cisco was

407
00:23:56,550 --> 00:24:01,430
Josh:
over 200 times earnings and yahoo is over 800 times earnings now there are some

408
00:24:01,430 --> 00:24:05,350
Josh:
early signs of this spacex being one of them when i think about its pe ratio

409
00:24:05,350 --> 00:24:09,270
Josh:
i don't know what it is it's not public yet that's going to probably be close

410
00:24:09,270 --> 00:24:14,170
Josh:
to the microsoft cisco level but in terms of these core businesses that are running.

411
00:24:14,330 --> 00:24:18,270
Josh:
They're not priced very highly at all. This isn't bubble territory.

412
00:24:18,430 --> 00:24:22,270
Josh:
They're not going into debt. They are not spending what they can't afford.

413
00:24:22,470 --> 00:24:25,690
Josh:
They are just taking the revenue that they're earning from their customers and

414
00:24:25,690 --> 00:24:28,810
Josh:
they're deploying it to grow their businesses even larger.

415
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:32,510
Josh:
So if you're asking, is there going to be a problem?

416
00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:37,350
Josh:
Are there shortcomings in the market coming soon? The answer is, I mean, maybe not.

417
00:24:37,650 --> 00:24:41,230
Josh:
Things can break. This is subject to change. I know there's a lot of underlying

418
00:24:41,230 --> 00:24:44,650
Josh:
things that may change the narrative here, but as of now, things seem pretty

419
00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:46,450
Josh:
solid and these earnest reports look awesome.

420
00:24:47,250 --> 00:24:50,930
Ejaaz:
My answer to the bubble question is, we're not in a bubble right now.

421
00:24:51,070 --> 00:24:56,850
Ejaaz:
As soon as these companies start taking a lot more debt and these P ratios skyrocket, then we are.

422
00:24:57,250 --> 00:25:01,350
Ejaaz:
Listen, it might happen suddenly once SpaceX IPOs, once OpenAI IPOs and capital

423
00:25:01,350 --> 00:25:04,290
Ejaaz:
gets sucked out of these companies, it remains to be seen.

424
00:25:04,410 --> 00:25:06,830
Ejaaz:
But for now, theoretically, we are not there.

425
00:25:07,010 --> 00:25:10,430
Josh:
But well, there's one thing. One last thing is like, so the thing that I'm looking

426
00:25:10,430 --> 00:25:14,090
Josh:
at is, so long as that incremental dollar spent on compute is still valuable

427
00:25:14,090 --> 00:25:16,170
Josh:
to the customer, then everything works.

428
00:25:16,350 --> 00:25:20,370
Josh:
It's like as long as the end user is finding value from these AI tools and services

429
00:25:20,850 --> 00:25:23,670
Josh:
and they're willing to pay for that, everything continues to work.

430
00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:27,070
Josh:
It's once that train stops, once Claude starts to become dumb,

431
00:25:27,370 --> 00:25:30,670
Josh:
once we run out of use cases for it, that's when we run into problems and we

432
00:25:30,670 --> 00:25:32,630
Josh:
haven't got there yet. So I'm feeling optimistic.

433
00:25:32,810 --> 00:25:35,870
Ejaaz:
It's really funny because you mentioned Claude, you mentioned ChatGBT.

434
00:25:36,150 --> 00:25:37,710
Ejaaz:
Those are the two products.

435
00:25:38,450 --> 00:25:42,870
Ejaaz:
Like if these two companies implode overnight, we are screwed.

436
00:25:43,110 --> 00:25:47,250
Ejaaz:
But the good news is not just regular consumers like you and I,

437
00:25:47,410 --> 00:25:52,370
Ejaaz:
but very high-powered enterprises that generate billions and billions of dollars

438
00:25:52,370 --> 00:25:55,610
Ejaaz:
every single year, find deep value in these products, and they're embedding

439
00:25:55,610 --> 00:25:57,690
Ejaaz:
it in every aspect of their business.

440
00:25:57,950 --> 00:26:03,730
Ejaaz:
So for now, directionally, we're heading in what I would say is a positive direction for all of this.

441
00:26:03,850 --> 00:26:07,370
Ejaaz:
I think that brings us to the end of the earnings. We have more to cover.

442
00:26:07,650 --> 00:26:09,550
Ejaaz:
Let's switch contexts a bit.

443
00:26:09,850 --> 00:26:13,030
Ejaaz:
So Josh, have you heard of something called Project Deal? Yeah.

444
00:26:13,430 --> 00:26:14,530
Ejaaz:
No, never heard of it.

445
00:26:14,610 --> 00:26:14,930
Josh:
Fill me in.

446
00:26:15,290 --> 00:26:19,450
Ejaaz:
Okay, so our girl Olivia Moore does a very good job of summarizing an experiment

447
00:26:19,450 --> 00:26:22,410
Ejaaz:
that the Anthropic team did for one week.

448
00:26:22,570 --> 00:26:26,650
Ejaaz:
They said, we created a classified marketplace for our employees in San Francisco.

449
00:26:26,730 --> 00:26:28,750
Ejaaz:
It's kind of like a Craigslist, but with a twist.

450
00:26:29,130 --> 00:26:34,430
Ejaaz:
All the deals that were conducted by AI models were acting on behalf of employees.

451
00:26:34,530 --> 00:26:38,330
Ejaaz:
So they spun up a bunch of AI agents, and you as a human couldn't list the item

452
00:26:38,330 --> 00:26:40,650
Ejaaz:
that you wanted to sell. You couldn't write the description.

453
00:26:40,850 --> 00:26:44,250
Ejaaz:
You couldn't pitch it. And you as a purchaser couldn't say, oh,

454
00:26:44,350 --> 00:26:45,110
Ejaaz:
I don't like the look of that.

455
00:26:45,270 --> 00:26:48,990
Ejaaz:
It had to be completely run autonomously by clawed AI agents.

456
00:26:49,090 --> 00:26:53,190
Ejaaz:
So they ran this experiment for a week and did the human exchange by the end of it.

457
00:26:53,250 --> 00:26:58,990
Ejaaz:
And it ended up generating $4,000 worth of purchases and sales across the entire platform.

458
00:26:59,050 --> 00:27:01,590
Ejaaz:
And the customer feedback from the employees themselves were,

459
00:27:01,910 --> 00:27:03,770
Ejaaz:
wow, I actually ended up with items that I really wanted.

460
00:27:03,970 --> 00:27:06,530
Ejaaz:
Like if you were a purchaser, you gave your agent a wishlist.

461
00:27:06,670 --> 00:27:09,470
Ejaaz:
And if you were a seller, you just listed an inventory of things that you had

462
00:27:09,470 --> 00:27:11,470
Ejaaz:
in your apartment and the swap was done after a week.

463
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:15,070
Ejaaz:
I thought this was a pretty cool experiment for autonomously run businesses

464
00:27:15,070 --> 00:27:17,430
Ejaaz:
or e-commerce specifically that could happen in the future.

465
00:27:17,790 --> 00:27:22,090
Josh:
That's very cool. And also here's an answer to why the income will not stop

466
00:27:22,090 --> 00:27:26,850
Josh:
anytime soon, because think about how many tokens this requires in terms of agentic capabilities.

467
00:27:27,110 --> 00:27:30,430
Josh:
It's like, we started with the chatbots, you talk, it spits something out.

468
00:27:30,770 --> 00:27:33,970
Josh:
That was like, okay, but it didn't use that much tokens. Then we had chain of

469
00:27:33,970 --> 00:27:37,670
Josh:
thought where it actually generated tokens in order to create a better answer.

470
00:27:37,790 --> 00:27:40,410
Josh:
And now we have agents that leverage not only chain of thought,

471
00:27:40,530 --> 00:27:42,710
Josh:
but now are going off and performing all of these skill trees,

472
00:27:42,850 --> 00:27:43,950
Josh:
burning tons of tokens. Yes.

473
00:27:44,230 --> 00:27:47,250
Josh:
As this type of workflow becomes more powerful and delivers more value,

474
00:27:47,450 --> 00:27:50,510
Josh:
the amount of tokens that are required to generate go vertical.

475
00:27:50,750 --> 00:27:53,710
Josh:
And I think that's what we're seeing right now is not only is the demand for

476
00:27:53,710 --> 00:27:57,990
Josh:
AI going up, the demand for tokens is going astronomical with it because of

477
00:27:57,990 --> 00:28:01,870
Josh:
these workflows like this one, where I'm sure in order to get this done at this

478
00:28:01,870 --> 00:28:03,990
Josh:
quality, you consumed a tremendous amount of tokens.

479
00:28:04,250 --> 00:28:06,590
Josh:
And I think, again, this is probably another bullish use case.

480
00:28:06,710 --> 00:28:08,750
Josh:
Now, we have more news as it relates to Cursor.

481
00:28:08,910 --> 00:28:12,830
Josh:
Cursor releases their agent harness to the public. What's going on with Cursor?

482
00:28:12,830 --> 00:28:16,930
Ejaaz:
Yeah, okay. So I need to pause for a second and eat some humble pie because

483
00:28:16,930 --> 00:28:20,770
Ejaaz:
exactly a week and a half ago, I was crapping on Cursor.

484
00:28:20,850 --> 00:28:22,970
Ejaaz:
I basically said that they have no moat.

485
00:28:23,090 --> 00:28:29,110
Ejaaz:
They are, and I quote, an AI rapper that sits on top of the smarter models like Claude and Chad GPT.

486
00:28:29,630 --> 00:28:33,550
Ejaaz:
And, you know, Anthropic and OpenAI can basically eat their lunch at any given moment.

487
00:28:34,010 --> 00:28:38,290
Ejaaz:
I was wrong. So Cursor this week released a really cool product,

488
00:28:38,490 --> 00:28:41,170
Ejaaz:
which was their AI Agent Harness.

489
00:28:41,310 --> 00:28:43,750
Ejaaz:
Now, for those of you who don't know what an AI Agent Harness is,

490
00:28:43,910 --> 00:28:46,810
Ejaaz:
you have the main model, but the model in itself is good.

491
00:28:46,930 --> 00:28:50,950
Ejaaz:
But if you can mold it in a very specific way around a very particular use case,

492
00:28:51,030 --> 00:28:54,810
Ejaaz:
so that includes a bunch of very heavily detailed prompts.

493
00:28:54,930 --> 00:28:58,330
Ejaaz:
It includes setting up the right developer environment.

494
00:28:58,470 --> 00:29:02,910
Ejaaz:
It includes plugging in the right APIs and orchestrating all these things in

495
00:29:02,910 --> 00:29:05,850
Ejaaz:
a very meticulous way. That's known as the harness.

496
00:29:06,130 --> 00:29:09,670
Ejaaz:
That has grown to be as valuable as the model itself.

497
00:29:09,790 --> 00:29:13,990
Ejaaz:
In fact, there was an eval board that was put out this week because we had ChatGPT

498
00:29:13,990 --> 00:29:16,670
Ejaaz:
5.5 come out and we had Claude Opus 4.7 come out.

499
00:29:17,010 --> 00:29:21,450
Ejaaz:
They tried adding the harness from Cursor on top of these models and guess what?

500
00:29:21,770 --> 00:29:25,470
Ejaaz:
They performed better than the actual models themselves. So now companies are

501
00:29:25,470 --> 00:29:27,450
Ejaaz:
like, well, I want this harness as well.

502
00:29:27,570 --> 00:29:32,810
Ejaaz:
And in fact, Sam Altman himself said this week that the harness and the model are equivocal.

503
00:29:33,050 --> 00:29:37,030
Ejaaz:
They're the same thing and are as valuable as each other. So Cursor decided

504
00:29:37,030 --> 00:29:39,110
Ejaaz:
to do the insane thing, which is.

505
00:29:39,630 --> 00:29:42,930
Ejaaz:
Release their harness as an API and charge people to sit on top of that.

506
00:29:43,090 --> 00:29:46,950
Ejaaz:
So in an instant, overnight, they created this moat that sits on top of these

507
00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:51,070
Ejaaz:
models, and they can now charge a premium for it. It was just a genius move by Cursor.

508
00:29:51,530 --> 00:29:54,730
Ejaaz:
I'm kind of embarrassed that I didn't see it play out in this way myself,

509
00:29:54,730 --> 00:29:58,410
Ejaaz:
but they basically have a product that they can sell that makes ChatGPT and

510
00:29:58,410 --> 00:30:01,590
Ejaaz:
Claude 10x better than it already is today. And that's pretty cool.

511
00:30:01,930 --> 00:30:06,890
Josh:
Well, you know who saw that is Elon and SpaceX XAI, which sounds like one of his children's names.

512
00:30:06,950 --> 00:30:10,070
Josh:
It's a mouthful, but they acquired the option to purchase cursor

513
00:30:10,070 --> 00:30:13,270
Josh:
what last week two weeks ago and imagine if that

514
00:30:13,270 --> 00:30:15,950
Josh:
model wasn't anthropic it wasn't open ai

515
00:30:15,950 --> 00:30:18,610
Josh:
but it was a grok model and now it can be

516
00:30:18,610 --> 00:30:21,850
Josh:
10 to 20 times better in a harness run by cursor i

517
00:30:21,850 --> 00:30:24,630
Josh:
think that's probably what they're guiding towards so cursor seems now to be

518
00:30:24,630 --> 00:30:27,630
Josh:
a very important company a very important puzzle piece

519
00:30:27,630 --> 00:30:30,650
Josh:
and hopefully grok can take advantage of that when they either

520
00:30:30,650 --> 00:30:33,390
Josh:
work together or come to the acquisition later this

521
00:30:33,390 --> 00:30:36,190
Josh:
year now there is more news on the

522
00:30:36,190 --> 00:30:39,170
Josh:
front of ai generated content this one

523
00:30:39,170 --> 00:30:42,470
Josh:
being 11 labs now 11 labs for those who don't know is the

524
00:30:42,470 --> 00:30:45,910
Josh:
kind of frontier leading edge of audio ai

525
00:30:45,910 --> 00:30:49,470
Josh:
so that's things like ai voices voice cloning

526
00:30:49,470 --> 00:30:52,910
Josh:
and just recently music production so

527
00:30:52,910 --> 00:30:55,650
Josh:
they have a music platform website in which you can

528
00:30:55,650 --> 00:30:59,370
Josh:
actually sign your voice up to be used for music

529
00:30:59,370 --> 00:31:02,170
Josh:
generation and creation and they announced not only that

530
00:31:02,170 --> 00:31:07,290
Josh:
they created this new platform but also that they've paid out 11 million dollars

531
00:31:07,290 --> 00:31:11,770
Josh:
to creators through the 11 lives voice library so the question i asked myself

532
00:31:11,770 --> 00:31:14,890
Josh:
and i asked each other before i recorded is why have we not signed up our voices

533
00:31:14,890 --> 00:31:18,530
Josh:
for this creator program because my god 11 million dollars is a lot of money

534
00:31:18,530 --> 00:31:21,750
Josh:
it seems like a lot of the pushback around music generation

535
00:31:22,740 --> 00:31:25,760
Josh:
When it comes to ai in particular is that it's

536
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,540
Josh:
not real and it takes away from real artists and i

537
00:31:28,540 --> 00:31:31,440
Josh:
think the reality is is that artists who publish on spotify make virtually

538
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,100
Josh:
no money you get almost zero dollars even if you get

539
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:37,000
Josh:
a billion plays whereas 11 labs they're paying out 11 million

540
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,320
Josh:
dollars to a very small set of creators because they can actually earn and

541
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,980
Josh:
participate in the upside of this ai generated music so in addition to the music

542
00:31:43,980 --> 00:31:48,780
Josh:
being incredibly well produced in some cases it also creates this really interesting

543
00:31:48,780 --> 00:31:54,040
Josh:
incentive economy around submitting your human vocals to be used for this music

544
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,960
Josh:
production we have some samples of music maybe we should take a sec yeah give

545
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,180
Josh:
it a listen go on josh pick

546
00:31:59,180 --> 00:32:00,200
Ejaaz:
A pick a track.

547
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,880
Josh:
Let's see chrome candy sounds like fun okay here we go

548
00:32:13,370 --> 00:32:15,850
Josh:
Okay, I do immediately regret that decision.

549
00:32:16,310 --> 00:32:20,330
Ejaaz:
Okay, so out of all of that, I think we picked the most AI generated one.

550
00:32:20,530 --> 00:32:24,090
Ejaaz:
I do immediately regret that decision. I promise you some of these are actually pretty good.

551
00:32:24,390 --> 00:32:27,270
Ejaaz:
The thumbnail was a bit of a giveaway there. But yeah, to your point,

552
00:32:27,830 --> 00:32:29,670
Ejaaz:
there's a few reasons why I like this product.

553
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:34,830
Ejaaz:
Number one, the biggest pushback from artists specifically against AI,

554
00:32:35,030 --> 00:32:39,670
Ejaaz:
and rightly so, is this is killing our business. We aren't able to make money.

555
00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:43,590
Ejaaz:
You're stealing our IP and just generating profits for free.

556
00:32:43,770 --> 00:32:49,710
Ejaaz:
This platform not only recognizes your IP, but feeds profits and money back to you.

557
00:32:49,810 --> 00:32:52,970
Ejaaz:
Now, typically in the music industry, it's very complicated.

558
00:32:52,970 --> 00:32:57,030
Ejaaz:
You need to have your IP owner, record label, all this kind of stuff.

559
00:32:57,190 --> 00:32:59,690
Ejaaz:
And it gets very contractually boring and tedious.

560
00:32:59,970 --> 00:33:04,630
Ejaaz:
This is one singular platform that is traceable across the technology itself

561
00:33:04,630 --> 00:33:07,590
Ejaaz:
that can license your voice for content that you haven't even created.

562
00:33:07,810 --> 00:33:11,370
Ejaaz:
It could be someone else, you and I, Josh, that come up with an idea to leverage

563
00:33:11,370 --> 00:33:14,450
Ejaaz:
someone's voice and create a banger tune that goes on to make millions of dollars.

564
00:33:14,710 --> 00:33:18,830
Ejaaz:
And you see money come through that and it's in a transparent way through this platform.

565
00:33:19,030 --> 00:33:23,210
Ejaaz:
So I think although this is a small infrastructure and platform right now,

566
00:33:23,370 --> 00:33:24,870
Ejaaz:
this could grow to be something massive.

567
00:33:25,070 --> 00:33:28,490
Ejaaz:
Imagine if Spotify used this infrastructure, you know, you'd end up with a bunch

568
00:33:28,490 --> 00:33:31,250
Ejaaz:
more happy artists that end up making more money on average.

569
00:33:32,290 --> 00:33:35,110
Josh:
Yeah it's pretty cool i like 11 labs i think they have an incredible

570
00:33:35,110 --> 00:33:38,150
Josh:
platform i like this new take on music generation i hope it

571
00:33:38,150 --> 00:33:40,830
Josh:
changes the sentiment around ai produced music how it can

572
00:33:40,830 --> 00:33:43,770
Josh:
be an actual tool that empowers creator more than it destroys

573
00:33:43,770 --> 00:33:46,690
Josh:
them uh we also have more news as it relates to

574
00:33:46,690 --> 00:33:49,450
Josh:
claude releases now the month of claude is kind

575
00:33:49,450 --> 00:33:52,510
Josh:
of over they slowed down on their daily releases but they did release something

576
00:33:52,510 --> 00:33:55,570
Josh:
just yesterday that we found interesting which is a new

577
00:33:55,570 --> 00:33:58,690
Josh:
series of connectors things like blender things like adobe

578
00:33:58,690 --> 00:34:02,570
Josh:
creative cloud ableton which is a music production software canva

579
00:34:02,570 --> 00:34:05,310
Josh:
sketchup a lot of new applications one of the most noteworthy ones

580
00:34:05,310 --> 00:34:08,110
Josh:
was blender which for those who aren't familiar blender is

581
00:34:08,110 --> 00:34:11,050
Josh:
a 3d modeling and rendering software that actually takes

582
00:34:11,050 --> 00:34:14,370
Josh:
really complicated files for rendering things like if

583
00:34:14,370 --> 00:34:18,430
Josh:
you ever wanted to produce a product it creates the 3d renderings of all the

584
00:34:18,430 --> 00:34:22,450
Josh:
intricacies of something like a keyboard all the keys all the switches the housing

585
00:34:22,450 --> 00:34:27,030
Josh:
for it and now it can work directly with claude i was really interested i wanted

586
00:34:27,030 --> 00:34:29,950
Josh:
to check out the adobe creative cloud because i'm a huge fan of creative cloud

587
00:34:29,950 --> 00:34:31,710
Josh:
and do a lot of work in that world.

588
00:34:32,170 --> 00:34:35,730
Josh:
Unfortunately, it's only just Adobe for creativity. It's a pretty lame app.

589
00:34:35,930 --> 00:34:38,270
Josh:
And then I started playing around with this more. And the reality is,

590
00:34:38,290 --> 00:34:41,550
Josh:
is that it's very slow when it does all of these things.

591
00:34:41,690 --> 00:34:44,130
Josh:
It takes a long time to think and work. And while it is powerful,

592
00:34:44,130 --> 00:34:48,790
Josh:
it's just painstakingly slow to actually get outputs and engage with these tools

593
00:34:48,790 --> 00:34:51,670
Josh:
right now. But it seems pretty interesting.

594
00:34:51,890 --> 00:34:56,050
Josh:
I would hate for it to make a mistake on like a 10,000 part rendering of some

595
00:34:56,050 --> 00:34:59,310
Josh:
complicated object and you don't know what it is. So it's high risk.

596
00:34:59,470 --> 00:35:01,350
Josh:
Use at your own discretion.

597
00:35:01,730 --> 00:35:04,290
Josh:
But I think it is noteworthy news for this week, at least.

598
00:35:04,890 --> 00:35:10,830
Ejaaz:
Okay, so for the final topic, Josh, I have a nomination for the worst AI product ever created.

599
00:35:11,430 --> 00:35:15,650
Ejaaz:
And I'm sad to say that it was created by one of the biggest companies that

600
00:35:15,650 --> 00:35:19,270
Ejaaz:
we just spoke about on the earnings reports. So thank God this isn't the moneymaker.

601
00:35:19,650 --> 00:35:24,550
Ejaaz:
So this is a new feature from Amazon, where when you go on their e-commerce

602
00:35:24,550 --> 00:35:27,430
Ejaaz:
business, the Amazon platform where you order toilet paper, like I mentioned

603
00:35:27,430 --> 00:35:33,390
Ejaaz:
earlier on, you now have a new AI feature which generates a podcast about the products.

604
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,680
Ejaaz:
Two AI hosts discuss the product that you're viewing and takes your questions

605
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,920
Ejaaz:
as if it's in a call-in show.

606
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:46,020
Ejaaz:
So just to be clear, you press the button, right? This is like a demo here. I'm not going to play it.

607
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:51,080
Ejaaz:
But like, you know, you're looking at, what is this? Home Care Pro Rapid Relief Rash Cream.

608
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,460
Ejaaz:
And you can generate two AIs that like talk about the product.

609
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,960
Ejaaz:
And if you have a question, you can type in the question and they answer it live.

610
00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:02,700
Ejaaz:
So as you're scrolling through the page i don't know why you would want to use

611
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:06,620
Ejaaz:
this maybe i'm missing something i we are in the podcast game and even i hate

612
00:36:06,620 --> 00:36:11,220
Ejaaz:
this product with a visceral amount of myself josh can you help me unpack this

613
00:36:11,220 --> 00:36:12,280
Ejaaz:
like why would i want to use this.

614
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,660
Josh:
Is this even real this seems like they're trolling like

615
00:36:15,660 --> 00:36:19,160
Josh:
is this even a real feature i'm like very skeptical but it's funny i mean previously

616
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,100
Josh:
notebook lm which is google's program they did this they allowed you to kind

617
00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:27,380
Josh:
of insert any sort of research or idea into their program and then it would

618
00:36:27,380 --> 00:36:32,540
Josh:
generate you a podcast this seems to be doing a live call in q a based on people's

619
00:36:32,540 --> 00:36:34,580
Josh:
reviews and tough questions it's

620
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,360
Josh:
I guess if anything, it's a testament to the cost of content coming down to

621
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,400
Josh:
a level that is so marginal that Amazon is looking to implement it basically for free.

622
00:36:43,780 --> 00:36:46,320
Josh:
Is this necessary? Probably not. Are people going to use this?

623
00:36:46,420 --> 00:36:48,300
Josh:
Probably not. Is this real? I'm not even sure.

624
00:36:48,580 --> 00:36:51,460
Josh:
If anything, it's a really compelling demo. But yeah, I found it really funny

625
00:36:51,460 --> 00:36:55,220
Josh:
that, I mean, it's just a testament, again, to the cost of everything going

626
00:36:55,220 --> 00:36:59,020
Josh:
down, the accessibility of AI and the AI-ification of everything.

627
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,200
Josh:
Not everything needs to have a podcast. Not everything needs AI.

628
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,320
Josh:
I don't know. Funny story to end on. but i think that is everything this was

629
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,100
Josh:
kind of long if you made it to the end yeah you've really you you've made it

630
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:12,080
Josh:
you're up to date you know all the things that matter this week we had a few

631
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,300
Josh:
other episodes this week that were pretty interesting if you missed one is on

632
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:16,320
Josh:
that china deal with meta

633
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,760
Josh:
one thing that wasn't covered in the earnings report is this meta

634
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,540
Josh:
and manis acquisition issue where china actually blocked it

635
00:37:22,540 --> 00:37:25,400
Josh:
meanwhile the ceo of manis is a

636
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,400
Josh:
vice president of meta and working at the offices currently so it's

637
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,200
Josh:
a huge disaster we had an interview earlier this week where we spoke

638
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,700
Josh:
with the guy who is responsible for usvc an easy way that you can invest in

639
00:37:35,700 --> 00:37:38,860
Josh:
anthropic spacex and open ai before it goes public that was pretty interesting

640
00:37:38,860 --> 00:37:42,700
Josh:
and we also covered sam albin and elon musk's trial now we don't have any updates

641
00:37:42,700 --> 00:37:46,180
Josh:
on that today we're going to be covering those in the coming weeks but yeah

642
00:37:46,180 --> 00:37:49,760
Josh:
thank you guys so much for watching you guys any final thoughts before we leave them for the weekend

643
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,940
Ejaaz:
Oh no i think we've we've kept them here for a while but you are officially

644
00:37:53,940 --> 00:37:58,440
Ejaaz:
caught up to date with everything and anything going on with ai from everything

645
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:03,600
Ejaaz:
from product releases to earnings reports to drama between Elon Musk and Sam

646
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,960
Ejaaz:
Altman. We do grudges. We do everything on this show.

647
00:38:06,180 --> 00:38:09,880
Ejaaz:
So the point is we have extensive coverage. And if you aren't a subscriber,

648
00:38:10,140 --> 00:38:14,600
Ejaaz:
if you haven't rated the show, even if you hate us, leave us a comment, give us a rating.

649
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,940
Ejaaz:
We would love to hear from you. It helps us out massively.

650
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,540
Ejaaz:
And yeah, we will see you next week on the next one.

651
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,080
Josh:
Thanks. Have a great weekend. See you guys.
