Patrick O'Shaughnessy interviews the best investors, founders, and operators. Trades are attributed to the guest who holds the conviction.
if you're willing to say, I am never going to to invest in weapons. Well, then you're going to miss out on a generational amount of investing that's happening right now in the venture community.
As time goes on, you'll end up finding that math gets cheaper at a rate that is faster than memory gets cheaper. You should go ahead and think about how can I make my model use a huge, huge amount of compute?
a good example of simplicity is like, you should just buy like big companies when they're at their 200-week moving average. And it like, I love that idea because it's just so simple, but it's right.
I'm a bigger and bigger believer in the and the simplicity, which is like, you probably want to be long Elon Musk, you know, or like, like that level of idea.
And now I think we're in an era where we're selling compute and selling compute. You can't, you can't write the prompt once and then sell copies of the output. You have to do the compute every single time. And so the marginal cost obviously is not zero. And I think this is like a fundamental, huge change to the software business.
No one knows if it's the death of software. I think it's certainly the most unprecedented and uncertain time since at least the transition to the internet.

I think that there's a very sort of fortuitous arising of these high CapEx businesses of AI, the ultimate high CapEx project, and obviously all the hardware stuff.
We know inference is going to be the biggest market in the world. Whoever produces the most tokens is going to be the most valuable company in the world.
