George Kailas is giving away Wall Street's playbook
George Kailas got his first hedge fund job at 17. He taught himself accounting to qualify. He spent the years after on the buy side, building his own algorithms, and eventually ran an AI-as-a-service business for financial firms. The pattern he kept seeing: retail investors operating at a serious data disadvantage. Even smaller hedge funds couldn't keep up with the largest institutions.
He founded Prospero.ai in 2019 to close that gap.
"Initially, our goal was actually pretty modest," Kailas said on the CEO.com Podcast. "We wanted to help people stay out of the way of institutions and reduce costly investing mistakes. But the signals we developed ended up performing incredibly well."
The numbers he cited on the podcast: picks in Prospero's newsletter have outperformed the market by an average of 63% over the last four years. About 15,000 people use the app each month. Another 10,000 read the newsletter every week.
Alibaba changed his sense of what he'd built. Around 2022 or 2023, two of Prospero's most important signals spiked far above normal, so the company bought the stock. Ant Financial announced a funding round shortly after, and shares jumped. The signals cooled, and Prospero sold. Then the same pattern appeared again. Users noticed it themselves and started asking questions. Alibaba announced a major corporate reorganization and the stock surged.
"Maybe we've built something bigger than simply helping people avoid mistakes," Kailas remembers thinking.
The signal doing the heaviest lifting is net option sentiment, which isolates institutional behavior on the theory that institutions have better information and stronger incentives. That theory is also why he's cool on prediction markets, which people ask him about constantly. The odds usually favor the market maker, he said, and "you often can't distinguish between informed participants and uninformed participants."
Prospero stayed largely free for years. Investors wanted him to charge sooner. He refused, because he believes trust will be the scarcest asset in an AI-saturated world. "If enough people trust it, the information becomes more valuable, which creates a virtuous cycle," he said.
The company runs on two full-time employees. More than 50 people have contributed through equity arrangements, advisory roles, and part-time work. Total raised: a little over $1.5 million, about $538,000 of it through crowdfunding. The five-year plan is wealth management, sold to users who already have years of evidence the system works.
Kailas doesn't think AI is propping up the stock market, and he does think bubbles are forming. He just doesn't find that observation useful. "A bubble can continue expanding for years," he said. "If you become overly focused on timing the collapse, you can miss substantial gains." His questions are about exit criteria and risk controls, not timing.
He's less sure about the compute buildout. Communities are pushing back against data centers that consume enormous power and water while creating few long-term jobs. Smaller, specialized models are already challenging the assumption that AI requires ever more compute. And Google has set 2029 as its target for migrating to post-quantum cryptography. If quantum computing progresses the way many expect, Kailas said, it could change the economics of the infrastructure being built today.
So why are companies spending hundreds of billions on data centers? "Honestly, because that's how capitalism works," he said. "If someone is willing to write the checks, someone else will build the infrastructure."
On the frontier labs, he sees two different companies. OpenAI's talk of advertising and its media acquisitions suggest to him a bet on distribution over product. Anthropic is the opposite case. "I've never seen demand for a private company like I've seen with Anthropic," he said. "People are desperate to invest."
The signals now have a second life. In July, Kailas launched Aethon Fund, a hedge fund that opened with $50 million in capital and a signal library refined through four years of live calls with Prospero's community. He moved to chairman of Prospero.ai, longtime CTO Adam Plante took over as CEO, and a percentage of Aethon's proceeds goes back to the platform.
CEO.com asks every guest the same final question, on the belief that the chances one gives are just as important as the chances one takes. Kailas named Bruce Greenwald, the longtime head of Columbia Business School's value investing program. Greenwald took an interest when Kailas was 16, introduced him to the people who gave him his first hedge fund opportunities, and vouched for a teenager with almost no experience.
"There's no question I wouldn't be where I am today without that support," Kailas said.

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:54.200
That<00:00:51.040> became<00:00:51.480> kind<00:00:51.680> of<00:00:51.760> the<00:00:51.840> genesis<00:00:52.400> of<00:00:52.600> why<00:00:52.920> we<00:00:53.080> started<00:00:53.600> Prospero.

What<00:02:17.920> and<00:02:18.080> what<00:02:18.640> Did<00:02:18.840> you<00:02:18.959> expect<00:02:19.560> that<00:02:19.720> you<00:02:19.840> would<00:02:20.000> build<00:02:20.240> a<00:02:20.280> community<00:02:20.800> like<00:02:21.040> you<00:02:21.160> built?
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.120
Like<00:02:22.160> what<00:02:22.320> you've<00:02:22.480> really<00:02:22.680> done<00:02:22.840> is<00:02:22.959> built<00:02:23.200> a<00:02:23.240> community,<00:02:23.920> which<00:02:24.160> is<00:02:24.280> really<00:02:24.520> interesting.
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.920
I<00:02:25.280> I<00:02:25.320> would<00:02:25.440> just<00:02:25.600> wonder<00:02:25.840> if<00:02:25.959> you<00:02:26.080> started<00:02:26.920> with<00:02:27.120> that<00:02:27.480> in<00:02:27.600> mind<00:02:28.080> or<00:02:28.680> with<00:02:28.840> the<00:02:28.959> tools<00:02:29.280> in<00:02:29.400> mind<00:02:29.640> first.
00:02:30.920 --> 00:02:34.880
Um<00:02:31.600> I<00:02:31.760> think<00:02:32.360> both<00:02:33.080> were<00:02:33.320> expected.
00:02:34.880 --> 00:02:43.080

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:55.040
Um<00:02:47.280> and<00:02:47.440> it's<00:02:47.680> it's<00:02:48.000> part<00:02:48.280> of<00:02:48.360> the<00:02:48.480> long-term<00:02:49.040> vision,<00:02:49.440> you<00:02:49.520> know,<00:02:49.640> the<00:02:49.800> signals<00:02:50.959> um<00:02:51.200> and<00:02:51.440> and<00:02:51.640> the<00:02:51.760> trust<00:02:52.560> that<00:02:52.760> were<00:02:52.880> earned<00:02:53.080> because<00:02:53.360> of<00:02:53.440> the<00:02:53.520> signals<00:02:53.880> was<00:02:54.040> a<00:02:54.120> big<00:02:54.800> part

00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.640
I<00:03:00.160> kind<00:03:00.360> of<00:03:00.440> pride<00:03:00.720> myself<00:03:01.160> on<00:03:01.320> being<00:03:01.560> ahead<00:03:01.760> of<00:03:01.840> the<00:03:01.920> curve<00:03:02.640> on<00:03:02.880> things.
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:07.800
And<00:03:04.440> you<00:03:04.519> know,<00:03:04.800> we<00:03:05.400> I<00:03:05.560> think<00:03:05.800> we're<00:03:06.000> early<00:03:06.280> to<00:03:06.400> this<00:03:06.600> idea<00:03:06.880> of<00:03:07.000> trust.
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:16.239
And<00:03:08.160> you<00:03:08.239> know,<00:03:08.440> as<00:03:08.680> we<00:03:08.840> see<00:03:09.080> things,<00:03:09.400> especially<00:03:09.959> when<00:03:10.080> it<00:03:10.200> gets<00:03:10.360> as<00:03:10.440> specific<00:03:10.920> as<00:03:11.040> things<00:03:11.280> like<00:03:11.480> deep<00:03:11.720> fakes,<00:03:12.360> but<00:03:12.519> I<00:03:12.600> do<00:03:12.800> think<00:03:13.360> broadly,<00:03:14.320> as<00:03:14.560> AI<00:03:14.840> proliferates<00:03:15.680> more,

00:03:19.320 --> 00:03:27.840
So,<00:03:20.040> part<00:03:20.320> of<00:03:20.480> how<00:03:20.600> we<00:03:20.760> want<00:03:20.959> to<00:03:21.080> add<00:03:21.320> value<00:03:21.800> long-term<00:03:22.560> and<00:03:22.760> as<00:03:23.160> as,<00:03:23.360> you<00:03:23.440> know,<00:03:23.560> more<00:03:23.840> and<00:03:23.959> more<00:03:24.280> AI<00:03:24.600> gets<00:03:25.040> in<00:03:25.200> is<00:03:25.440> is<00:03:26.360> um<00:03:26.440> in<00:03:26.800> a<00:03:26.840> community-based<00:03:27.640> way.
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:36.160
So,<00:03:28.360> you<00:03:28.440> know,<00:03:28.560> one<00:03:28.720> of<00:03:28.800> the<00:03:28.880> things<00:03:29.120> we're<00:03:29.239> trying<00:03:29.519> to<00:03:29.600> do<00:03:30.280> is<00:03:31.000> create<00:03:31.480> sort<00:03:31.680> of<00:03:31.840> modern<00:03:32.320> sell-side<00:03:33.000> research<00:03:33.480> that<00:03:33.720> retail<00:03:34.080> investors<00:03:34.680> actually<00:03:35.160> trust.
00:03:36.160 --> 00:03:41.120
Um<00:03:37.160> that<00:03:37.400> can<00:03:37.560> become<00:03:38.519> a<00:03:38.600> bit<00:03:38.840> of<00:03:39.040> a<00:03:39.400> a<00:03:39.480> virtuous<00:03:40.000> cycle,<00:03:40.600> right?
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:48.160
The<00:03:41.239> more<00:03:41.680> people<00:03:42.080> that<00:03:42.320> trust<00:03:42.800> it,<00:03:43.280> the<00:03:43.440> more<00:03:43.880> accurate<00:03:44.440> the<00:03:44.560> information<00:03:45.560> becomes,<00:03:46.160> and<00:03:46.320> the<00:03:46.400> more<00:03:46.720> people<00:03:47.120> that<00:03:47.280> will<00:03:47.440> take<00:03:47.680> notice.
00:03:48.160 --> 00:03:53.320
So,<00:03:48.760> that's<00:03:49.040> one<00:03:49.239> of<00:03:49.280> the<00:03:49.400> things<00:03:49.880> our<00:03:50.040> very<00:03:50.360> like<00:03:50.880> long-term<00:03:51.560> community-focused<00:03:52.520> endeavor.
00:03:53.320 --> 00:04:01.840
And<00:03:53.480> then<00:03:53.600> the<00:03:53.760> other<00:03:54.000> thing<00:03:54.680> is,<00:03:55.360> you<00:03:55.400> know,<00:03:55.520> for<00:03:55.680> a<00:03:55.760> long<00:03:56.080> time,<00:03:56.600> and<00:03:56.800> we<00:03:56.920> haven't<00:03:57.160> started<00:03:57.480> doing<00:03:57.720> this<00:03:57.880> yet<00:03:58.080> because<00:03:58.680> trust<00:03:59.120> is<00:03:59.320> step<00:03:59.680> one<00:04:00.680> in<00:04:00.880> this,<00:04:01.600> which

00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:22.600
But<00:04:16.640> instead<00:04:16.880> of<00:04:16.920> that<00:04:17.079> private<00:04:17.400> arbitrage,<00:04:18.239> we<00:04:18.359> can<00:04:18.519> make<00:04:18.680> that<00:04:18.840> more<00:04:19.000> of<00:04:19.079> a<00:04:19.160> public<00:04:19.560> utility,<00:04:20.440> which<00:04:20.680> incentivizes<00:04:21.359> more<00:04:21.680> data<00:04:21.959> sharing.
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:31.720

00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.360
They<00:07:43.760> do<00:07:43.920> sports<00:07:44.480> and<00:07:44.800> politics.<00:07:45.280> You<00:07:45.360> can<00:07:45.480> bet<00:07:45.640> on<00:07:45.760> anything<00:07:46.080> basically<00:07:46.520> in<00:07:46.600> there.

00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.240
Give<00:07:51.520> me<00:07:51.640> a<00:07:51.720> sense<00:07:51.960> for<00:07:52.080> just<00:07:52.320> how<00:07:52.440> you're<00:07:52.600> seeing<00:07:52.960> all<00:07:53.120> of<00:07:53.200> that.
00:07:54.240 --> 00:08:01.760
So,<00:07:54.600> a<00:07:54.720> lot<00:07:55.040> of<00:07:55.160> people<00:07:57.440> a<00:07:57.480> lot<00:07:57.720> of<00:07:57.800> people<00:07:58.080> actually<00:07:58.440> ask<00:07:59.200> this<00:07:59.440> question<00:07:59.880> lately.
00:08:01.760 --> 00:08:10.400
And<00:08:03.400> there's<00:08:03.760> a<00:08:03.840> few<00:08:04.160> things<00:08:04.720> about<00:08:05.200> it<00:08:05.480> where<00:08:05.800> it's<00:08:05.920> just<00:08:06.160> like<00:08:06.760> one<00:08:08.440> do<00:08:08.640> we<00:08:08.840> really<00:08:09.200> want<00:08:09.640> people<00:08:10.040> playing

00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:17.560
No.<00:08:13.440> Do<00:08:14.640> we<00:08:14.840> would<00:08:15.000> we<00:08:15.120> recommend<00:08:15.600> anyone<00:08:16.080> investing<00:08:16.840> in<00:08:17.000> those<00:08:17.160> markets?
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:26.080
Yeah,<00:08:17.760> like<00:08:18.040> I<00:08:18.160> actually<00:08:18.520> have<00:08:18.840> heard<00:08:20.040> um<00:08:20.840> you<00:08:20.960> know,<00:08:21.160> people<00:08:21.840> with<00:08:22.080> open<00:08:22.360> claw<00:08:22.720> that<00:08:22.880> can<00:08:23.040> you<00:08:23.120> know,<00:08:23.280> find<00:08:23.640> these<00:08:23.919> kind<00:08:24.120> of<00:08:24.240> opportunities<00:08:24.919> to<00:08:25.040> invest<00:08:25.360> in<00:08:25.440> them,<00:08:25.880> but
00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:29.440
there<00:08:26.280> are<00:08:26.400> liquidity<00:08:27.400> problems<00:08:28.320> in<00:08:28.480> it.
00:08:29.440 --> 00:08:35.599
And<00:08:29.520> especially<00:08:30.040> if<00:08:30.160> you're<00:08:30.280> just<00:08:30.480> kind<00:08:30.720> of<00:08:31.280> you<00:08:31.360> know,<00:08:31.520> guessing<00:08:31.960> at<00:08:32.080> these<00:08:32.320> things,<00:08:33.240> these<00:08:33.479> things<00:08:33.719> are<00:08:33.880> really<00:08:34.240> terrible.
00:08:35.599 --> 00:08:38.599
Odds<00:08:36.000> really<00:08:36.280> terrible<00:08:37.080> expected<00:08:37.640> values,<00:08:38.120> right?
00:08:38.599 --> 00:08:41.080
And<00:08:38.719> I'll<00:08:38.880> break<00:08:39.120> it<00:08:39.200> down<00:08:39.440> a<00:08:39.479> really<00:08:39.760> simple<00:08:40.039> way,<00:08:40.400> right?
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.880
Generally,<00:08:41.680> if<00:08:41.840> you<00:08:42.000> invest<00:08:42.560> in<00:08:42.760> a<00:08:42.840> stock,<00:08:43.719> like<00:08:43.960> the<00:08:44.080> market<00:08:44.560> goes<00:08:44.839> up<00:08:45.000> a<00:08:45.080> lot<00:08:45.320> more<00:08:45.520> than<00:08:45.680> it<00:08:45.800> goes<00:08:46.080> down.
00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:54.280
Right?<00:08:47.240> So,<00:08:47.839> you're<00:08:48.040> probably<00:08:48.480> looking<00:08:48.880> at<00:08:50.120> at<00:08:50.400> least<00:08:50.800> a<00:08:50.880> 60%<00:08:51.800> chance<00:08:52.800> of<00:08:53.160> making<00:08:53.560> money.
00:08:54.280 --> 00:09:02.360
If<00:08:54.440> you're<00:08:54.600> looking<00:08:54.920> at<00:08:55.040> these<00:08:55.360> betting<00:08:55.800> markets,<00:08:57.560> even<00:08:57.839> if<00:08:57.960> everybody<00:08:58.320> has<00:08:58.480> the<00:08:58.560> same<00:08:59.080> amount<00:08:59.360> of<00:08:59.440> information<00:08:59.920> which<00:09:00.080> we've<00:09:00.240> seen<00:09:00.520> many<00:09:00.800> times,<00:09:01.520> some<00:09:01.800> people<00:09:02.120> seem
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:08.480
to<00:09:02.400> have<00:09:02.520> better<00:09:02.760> information<00:09:03.160> than<00:09:03.280> others,<00:09:03.839> but<00:09:04.080> that's<00:09:04.280> not<00:09:04.520> all<00:09:04.720> that<00:09:04.880> different<00:09:05.200> from<00:09:05.320> the<00:09:05.400> stock<00:09:05.680> market,<00:09:06.000> but<00:09:06.120> I<00:09:06.200> do<00:09:06.400> think<00:09:06.560> when<00:09:06.680> you're<00:09:06.839> betting<00:09:07.160> on<00:09:07.440> events,
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.520
it's<00:09:08.800> also<00:09:09.200> a<00:09:09.240> little<00:09:09.560> different<00:09:10.040> than<00:09:10.520> just<00:09:10.800> price.
00:09:11.520 --> 00:09:20.400
But<00:09:11.600> if<00:09:11.720> there's<00:09:12.000> like,<00:09:12.600> you<00:09:12.720> know,<00:09:13.360> 10<00:09:13.839> 20<00:09:14.240> different<00:09:14.600> outcomes<00:09:15.040> you<00:09:15.160> can<00:09:15.320> bet<00:09:15.600> on,<00:09:16.839> um<00:09:17.800> you<00:09:17.880> know,<00:09:18.080> a<00:09:18.160> lot<00:09:18.480> of<00:09:18.560> the<00:09:18.680> times<00:09:20.080> that's
00:09:20.400 --> 00:09:24.080
really<00:09:20.640> just<00:09:20.839> designed<00:09:21.360> for<00:09:21.640> the<00:09:22.200> for<00:09:22.360> the<00:09:22.480> market<00:09:22.920> maker<00:09:23.480> to<00:09:23.600> make<00:09:23.800> money.
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:32.120
Like<00:09:24.280> you're<00:09:24.480> probably<00:09:24.920> not<00:09:25.200> dealing<00:09:25.520> with<00:09:25.640> like<00:09:26.120> a<00:09:26.200> 60%<00:09:26.920> chance<00:09:27.160> of<00:09:27.280> winning,<00:09:27.880> and<00:09:28.000> if<00:09:28.120> you<00:09:28.320> are<00:09:28.560> dealing<00:09:28.920> with<00:09:29.080> that,<00:09:29.600> the<00:09:29.760> payoff<00:09:30.280> is<00:09:30.440> going<00:09:30.560> to<00:09:30.640> be<00:09:30.800> a<00:09:30.880> lot<00:09:31.200> lower<00:09:31.960> than
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:36.440
if<00:09:32.240> you<00:09:32.400> just<00:09:32.600> had<00:09:32.800> the<00:09:33.040> upside<00:09:33.960> of<00:09:34.200> a<00:09:34.320> of<00:09:34.480> a<00:09:34.520> stock<00:09:35.520> going<00:09:35.800> up.
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:44.840
So,<00:09:36.600> it's<00:09:36.800> really<00:09:37.120> not<00:09:37.440> it<00:09:37.600> it<00:09:37.760> like<00:09:38.280> the<00:09:38.560> odds<00:09:39.120> are<00:09:39.320> actually<00:09:39.840> much<00:09:40.400> better<00:09:40.720> set<00:09:41.000> up<00:09:41.200> for,<00:09:41.840> you<00:09:41.960> know,<00:09:42.480> the<00:09:42.600> Polymarkets<00:09:43.320> of<00:09:43.440> the<00:09:43.520> world<00:09:43.880> than,<00:09:44.280> you<00:09:44.360> know,<00:09:44.480> anyone

Um<00:09:59.080> then<00:09:59.680> when<00:09:59.920> you<00:10:00.040> start<00:10:00.360> to<00:10:00.480> get<00:10:00.680> into,<00:10:01.560> you<00:10:01.680> know,<00:10:01.880> people<00:10:02.280> having<00:10:02.560> questions<00:10:03.240> about<00:10:03.680> like,<00:10:03.920> "Oh,<00:10:04.120> is<00:10:04.240> this<00:10:04.440> a<00:10:04.520> good<00:10:04.720> place<00:10:05.160> to<00:10:05.320> see

00:13:27.560 --> 00:13:36.000
Right<00:13:27.840> now.<00:13:28.440> But,<00:13:29.160> like,<00:13:29.800> what<00:13:30.000> I<00:13:30.120> always<00:13:30.480> tell<00:13:30.720> people<00:13:31.040> about<00:13:31.440> markets<00:13:32.000> and<00:13:32.240> bubbles<00:13:33.040> are<00:13:33.640> you<00:13:33.840> really<00:13:34.120> just<00:13:34.280> have<00:13:34.440> to<00:13:34.560> be<00:13:34.680> careful<00:13:35.080> and<00:13:35.200> keep<00:13:35.360> your<00:13:35.520> wits<00:13:35.720> about
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.440
you.<00:13:36.120> And<00:13:36.240> like,<00:13:36.440> our<00:13:36.640> signals<00:13:37.040> are<00:13:37.160> a<00:13:37.200> good<00:13:37.440> way<00:13:37.560> to<00:13:37.680> do<00:13:37.880> that,<00:13:38.200> right?
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:42.600
Because<00:13:39.000> what<00:13:39.200> I<00:13:39.280> always<00:13:39.520> say<00:13:39.680> is<00:13:39.840> like<00:13:40.560> Yeah,<00:13:41.000> we're<00:13:41.120> probably<00:13:41.640> in<00:13:42.120> a<00:13:42.200> bubble.
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:45.440
It's<00:13:42.800> probably<00:13:43.080> going<00:13:43.200> to<00:13:43.280> pop<00:13:43.480> eventually.<00:13:44.240> So<00:13:44.520> what,<00:13:44.960> right?
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:54.640
I've<00:13:45.680> seen<00:13:45.960> bubbles<00:13:46.400> in<00:13:46.520> the<00:13:46.800> in<00:13:46.960> the<00:13:47.080> past<00:13:47.840> where<00:13:48.000> they're<00:13:48.120> going<00:13:48.240> to<00:13:48.360> run<00:13:48.680> for<00:13:48.880> another<00:13:49.240> 2<00:13:49.480> years<00:13:50.280> and<00:13:50.440> you<00:13:50.560> might<00:13:50.800> be<00:13:51.000> so<00:13:51.480> afraid<00:13:52.520> of<00:13:52.840> the<00:13:52.960> bubble<00:13:53.680> bursting
00:13:54.640 --> 00:13:57.440
that<00:13:54.840> you're<00:13:54.960> going<00:13:55.080> to<00:13:55.160> miss<00:13:55.880> a<00:13:56.000> lot<00:13:56.320> of<00:13:56.400> the<00:13:56.600> upside.
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.360
Um,<00:13:58.480> and<00:13:58.680> so<00:13:58.840> that's<00:13:59.160> a<00:13:59.200> legitimate<00:13:59.640> question.
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.000
When<00:14:00.600> is<00:14:00.720> it<00:14:00.840> going<00:14:00.960> to<00:14:01.040> pop?<00:14:01.400> I<00:14:01.480> don't<00:14:01.680> know.<00:14:01.920> Is<00:14:02.080> it<00:14:02.200> going<00:14:02.320> to<00:14:02.360> pop?
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:08.360
Absolutely.<00:14:04.040> So<00:14:04.200> it's<00:14:04.360> really<00:14:04.600> just<00:14:04.800> a<00:14:04.840> question<00:14:05.240> of<00:14:05.640> can<00:14:06.040> you<00:14:06.240> take<00:14:06.600> calculated<00:14:07.400> risks?
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:16.920
And<00:14:09.080> and<00:14:09.320> I<00:14:09.440> think<00:14:10.000> the<00:14:10.160> one<00:14:10.480> question<00:14:11.360> that<00:14:11.680> everybody<00:14:12.200> should<00:14:12.400> have<00:14:12.560> an<00:14:12.680> answer<00:14:13.000> to<00:14:13.240> as<00:14:13.480> a<00:14:13.520> retail<00:14:13.920> investor<00:14:14.360> is,<00:14:14.840> how<00:14:15.240> would<00:14:15.600> I<00:14:15.760> know<00:14:16.720> if
00:14:16.920 --> 00:14:20.200
the<00:14:17.040> bubble<00:14:17.400> was<00:14:17.600> popping,<00:14:18.400> if<00:14:18.560> the<00:14:18.640> bubble<00:14:19.040> is<00:14:19.360> popping?
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:26.760
Because<00:14:20.960> I<00:14:21.080> would<00:14:21.320> absolutely<00:14:22.560> have<00:14:22.800> your<00:14:23.040> own<00:14:23.400> idea<00:14:24.360> of<00:14:24.560> how<00:14:25.320> to<00:14:25.480> evaluate<00:14:26.200> that.
00:14:26.760 --> 00:14:33.640
And<00:14:27.520> I<00:14:27.680> absolutely<00:14:28.560> think<00:14:29.200> compute<00:14:30.480> is<00:14:30.680> getting<00:14:31.000> built<00:14:31.400> out<00:14:32.120> way<00:14:32.600> too<00:14:32.880> much.
00:14:33.640 --> 00:14:41.920
And<00:14:33.800> you<00:14:33.880> know,<00:14:34.000> there's<00:14:34.240> the<00:14:34.360> Michael<00:14:34.680> Burry<00:14:35.000> thing<00:14:35.680> about<00:14:36.120> like<00:14:36.760> how<00:14:36.960> he<00:14:37.120> thinks,<00:14:38.200> um,<00:14:38.880> you<00:14:38.960> know,<00:14:39.120> a<00:14:39.160> lot<00:14:39.480> of<00:14:39.560> the<00:14:39.720> existing<00:14:40.240> compute,<00:14:40.839> especially<00:14:41.400> at<00:14:41.520> the<00:14:41.640> mega
00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:44.839
cap<00:14:42.200> companies,<00:14:43.000> needs<00:14:43.280> to<00:14:43.400> be<00:14:43.520> properly<00:14:44.040> depreciated.
00:14:44.839 --> 00:14:47.240
It's<00:14:45.000> not<00:14:45.240> being<00:14:45.600> properly<00:14:46.040> depreciated<00:14:46.720> yet.
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:53.480
And<00:14:47.920> I<00:14:48.080> could<00:14:48.280> agree<00:14:48.640> with<00:14:48.839> that,<00:14:49.520> but<00:14:50.200> we're<00:14:50.400> kind<00:14:50.880> of<00:14:51.040> back<00:14:51.400> to<00:14:51.520> the<00:14:51.640> same<00:14:52.080> thing,<00:14:52.800> right?
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.920
And<00:14:53.839> we're<00:14:53.960> kind<00:14:54.160> of<00:14:54.240> back<00:14:54.400> to<00:14:54.480> the<00:14:54.560> same<00:14:54.800> thing<00:14:55.000> is<00:14:55.080> like,<00:14:55.720> well,<00:14:56.040> when<00:14:56.320> is<00:14:56.520> it<00:14:56.640> going<00:14:56.760> to<00:14:56.800> be?
00:14:56.920 --> 00:15:00.040
Like,<00:14:57.400> when<00:14:57.640> is<00:14:57.760> it<00:14:57.839> going<00:14:57.960> to<00:14:58.040> be<00:14:58.200> depreciated,<00:14:59.360> right?
00:15:00.040 --> 00:15:08.240
When<00:15:00.920> when<00:15:01.440> are<00:15:01.760> we<00:15:02.040> going<00:15:02.520> to<00:15:03.440> accept<00:15:04.720> that,<00:15:05.440> you<00:15:05.560> know,<00:15:05.760> maybe<00:15:06.160> we've<00:15:06.480> overbuilt<00:15:07.160> the<00:15:07.280> compute?
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:15.160
Like,<00:15:08.600> when<00:15:09.560> when<00:15:09.960> will<00:15:10.240> shareholders<00:15:11.040> start<00:15:11.440> demanding<00:15:12.600> that<00:15:12.800> the<00:15:13.040> ROI<00:15:14.040> is<00:15:14.200> there<00:15:14.400> on<00:15:14.480> the<00:15:14.560> compute?
00:15:15.160 --> 00:15:19.520
Because<00:15:15.360> I'd<00:15:15.520> argue<00:15:15.800> that<00:15:15.960> they<00:15:16.080> already<00:15:16.400> should<00:15:16.680> be<00:15:16.800> demanding<00:15:17.560> that<00:15:17.720> the<00:15:17.880> ROI<00:15:18.280> is<00:15:18.440> there<00:15:18.600> on<00:15:18.720> the<00:15:18.800> compute.
00:15:19.520 --> 00:15:28.680
And<00:15:19.720> they're<00:15:19.839> not.<00:15:20.480> So<00:15:20.760> all<00:15:21.080> of<00:15:21.200> these<00:15:21.480> are<00:15:21.680> just<00:15:21.960> different<00:15:22.400> ways<00:15:22.720> of<00:15:22.840> saying<00:15:23.680> that,<00:15:24.600> you<00:15:24.720> know,<00:15:25.720> there<00:15:25.960> are<00:15:26.200> concerns,<00:15:27.560> but
00:15:28.680 --> 00:15:37.400
you're<00:15:28.880> going<00:15:29.000> to<00:15:29.120> leave<00:15:29.360> a<00:15:29.440> lot<00:15:29.680> of<00:15:29.760> money<00:15:30.040> on<00:15:30.200> the<00:15:30.320> table<00:15:31.160> if<00:15:31.360> you<00:15:31.480> let<00:15:31.680> yourself<00:15:32.040> be<00:15:32.240> overly<00:15:32.720> concerned<00:15:33.680> with<00:15:34.880> it<00:15:35.120> being<00:15:36.000> the<00:15:36.120> bubble<00:15:36.440> popping<00:15:36.800> now
00:15:37.400 --> 00:15:40.440

It<00:16:12.560> is<00:16:12.720> the<00:16:12.920> issue<00:16:13.280> here<00:16:13.560> in<00:16:13.680> the<00:16:13.760> state<00:16:14.000> of<00:16:14.120> Utah.
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:23.160
I<00:16:14.400> don't<00:16:14.520> know<00:16:14.600> if<00:16:14.680> you've<00:16:14.840> heard<00:16:15.680> that<00:16:15.920> that<00:16:16.160> Kevin<00:16:16.440> O'Leary<00:16:16.920> from<00:16:17.080> Shark<00:16:17.400> Tank<00:16:18.200> uh<00:16:18.280> is<00:16:18.440> going<00:16:18.560> to<00:16:18.640> build<00:16:18.800> the<00:16:18.880> biggest<00:16:19.400> data<00:16:19.680> center<00:16:20.320> in<00:16:20.520> the<00:16:20.640> world<00:16:21.240> in<00:16:21.440> Utah,<00:16:22.000> supposedly.
00:16:23.160 --> 00:16:29.160
So,<00:16:23.280> obviously<00:16:23.600> it's<00:16:23.720> a<00:16:23.760> big<00:16:23.920> topic<00:16:24.280> for<00:16:24.440> us,<00:16:24.600> but<00:16:24.720> it's<00:16:24.800> a<00:16:24.839> big<00:16:24.960> topic<00:16:25.280> for<00:16:25.839> um<00:16:26.280> communities<00:16:26.839> around<00:16:27.640> the<00:16:27.800> country.
00:16:29.160 --> 00:16:33.000
Tell<00:16:29.360> us<00:16:29.480> what<00:16:29.600> you<00:16:29.680> mean<00:16:29.839> by<00:16:29.960> that.<00:16:30.120> Like,<00:16:30.320> what<00:16:30.560> what<00:16:30.640> do<00:16:30.720> you<00:16:30.760> mean<00:16:30.920> by<00:16:31.040> we're<00:16:31.280> overbuilding<00:16:31.920> commute?
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.600
compute,<00:16:33.400> sorry.<00:16:33.560> Well,<00:16:33.760> you<00:16:34.120> yeah,<00:16:34.440> you<00:16:34.720> hit<00:16:34.880> on<00:16:35.040> the<00:16:35.120> first<00:16:35.440> thing,<00:16:36.040> right?
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:45.080
Like,<00:16:36.921> [laughter]<00:16:37.520> it<00:16:37.720> is<00:16:37.920> definitely<00:16:39.120> that,<00:16:40.040> you<00:16:40.120> know,<00:16:41.320> people,<00:16:42.080> you<00:16:42.240> know,<00:16:43.320> nobody<00:16:43.800> got<00:16:44.040> to<00:16:44.160> vote<00:16:45.000> for
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:53.480
these<00:16:45.320> data<00:16:45.600> centers,<00:16:46.200> right?<00:16:46.920> And,<00:16:47.800> you<00:16:47.920> know,<00:16:48.480> it's<00:16:48.720> one<00:16:49.000> thing<00:16:49.520> in,<00:16:50.160> you<00:16:50.280> know,<00:16:50.440> more<00:16:50.760> classic<00:16:51.440> industrialization,<00:16:52.480> right?
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:56.120
A<00:16:53.560> factory<00:16:54.040> comes<00:16:54.320> to<00:16:54.440> town<00:16:54.720> and<00:16:54.800> it<00:16:54.880> creates<00:16:55.280> jobs.
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:01.760
So,<00:16:56.400> it's<00:16:56.560> a<00:16:56.600> little<00:16:56.880> bit<00:16:57.080> like,<00:16:57.320> well,<00:16:57.680> you<00:16:57.800> know,<00:16:58.000> whether<00:16:58.280> you<00:16:58.400> not<00:16:58.600> you<00:16:58.720> like<00:16:58.960> this,<00:16:59.200> like<00:16:59.400> we're<00:16:59.520> employing<00:16:59.960> people<00:17:00.280> in<00:17:00.360> the<00:17:00.440> community.
00:17:01.760 --> 00:17:05.920
A<00:17:01.800> data<00:17:02.080> center's<00:17:02.360> not<00:17:02.520> employ,<00:17:02.800> you<00:17:02.880> know,<00:17:03.240> maybe<00:17:03.600> some<00:17:03.800> initial<00:17:04.199> construction,<00:17:05.280> right?
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:10.439
But,<00:17:06.120> after<00:17:06.360> that<00:17:06.680> point,<00:17:07.280> like,<00:17:07.880> the<00:17:07.959> people<00:17:08.240> that<00:17:08.360> work<00:17:08.520> in<00:17:08.600> a<00:17:08.640> data<00:17:08.920> center<00:17:09.160> are<00:17:09.240> pretty<00:17:09.520> specialized<00:17:10.079> in<00:17:10.240> what?
00:17:10.439 --> 00:17:18.560
There<00:17:10.560> might<00:17:10.760> be<00:17:10.880> like<00:17:11.240> 10<00:17:11.600> or<00:17:11.720> 20?<00:17:12.120> Like,<00:17:12.319> I<00:17:12.400> don't<00:17:12.520> know<00:17:12.640> how<00:17:12.760> many,<00:17:12.920> but<00:17:13.079> it's<00:17:13.240> like<00:17:13.680> it's<00:17:13.839> probably<00:17:14.160> not<00:17:15.160> any<00:17:15.400> locals<00:17:16.079> that<00:17:16.199> are<00:17:16.319> getting<00:17:16.560> employed<00:17:16.959> on<00:17:17.079> the<00:17:17.240> on<00:17:17.720> on
00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:21.680
that<00:17:18.839> level<00:17:19.160> and<00:17:19.240> even<00:17:19.400> if<00:17:19.520> it<00:17:19.600> is<00:17:19.720> it's<00:17:19.839> not<00:17:20.000> met<00:17:21.000> right?
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:26.680
Then<00:17:22.880> you<00:17:23.079> know,<00:17:23.560> you<00:17:23.720> hear<00:17:23.920> about<00:17:24.199> how<00:17:24.319> much<00:17:24.640> water<00:17:25.560> these<00:17:25.839> things<00:17:26.120> are<00:17:26.199> drawing.
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:31.440
You<00:17:26.800> hear<00:17:27.000> about<00:17:27.400> it,<00:17:27.760> you<00:17:27.839> know,<00:17:27.959> basically<00:17:28.439> driving<00:17:29.000> up<00:17:29.440> the<00:17:29.560> price<00:17:30.280> of<00:17:30.480> utilities.
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:40.200
So<00:17:31.600> now<00:17:31.840> you're<00:17:31.960> talking<00:17:32.320> about<00:17:32.640> like<00:17:33.120> no<00:17:33.520> benefit<00:17:34.640> to<00:17:36.000> uh<00:17:36.400> to<00:17:36.960> the<00:17:37.640> the<00:17:37.760> neighborhoods<00:17:38.280> around<00:17:38.680> them<00:17:38.840> or<00:17:38.920> the<00:17:39.000> people<00:17:39.320> around<00:17:39.640> them
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.880
and<00:17:40.720> actually<00:17:41.240> a<00:17:41.360> cost,<00:17:42.320> right?
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:46.960
So<00:17:43.040> I<00:17:43.160> think<00:17:43.360> that's<00:17:43.560> something<00:17:43.920> that,<00:17:44.400> you<00:17:44.480> know,<00:17:44.640> people<00:17:45.000> are<00:17:45.080> going<00:17:45.200> to<00:17:45.280> have<00:17:45.600> to<00:17:46.240> figure<00:17:46.640> out.
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:55.000
Like<00:17:47.560> I<00:17:47.640> mean,<00:17:48.600> I<00:17:49.000> I'm<00:17:49.200> not<00:17:49.480> saying<00:17:49.840> I<00:17:49.920> condone<00:17:50.520> this<00:17:51.520> or<00:17:52.840> uh<00:17:53.320> you<00:17:53.560> know,<00:17:53.800> anything<00:17:54.880> uh<00:17:54.960> uh
00:17:55.000 --> 00:18:01.720
along<00:17:55.440> those<00:17:55.720> lines,<00:17:56.120> but<00:17:56.360> you<00:17:56.440> know,<00:17:56.600> we've<00:17:56.920> started<00:17:57.320> to<00:17:57.440> see<00:17:57.800> people,<00:17:58.720> you<00:17:58.840> know,<00:17:59.520> burn<00:17:59.920> down<00:18:00.320> warehouses.
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:10.360
Um<00:18:02.560> and<00:18:02.800> I<00:18:03.000> I<00:18:03.240> I<00:18:03.440> I<00:18:03.600> I<00:18:03.720> think<00:18:04.960> that's<00:18:05.400> probably<00:18:05.880> what's<00:18:06.120> going<00:18:06.240> to<00:18:06.320> happen<00:18:06.680> here<00:18:06.920> if<00:18:07.040> people<00:18:07.360> don't<00:18:07.760> figure<00:18:08.160> out<00:18:09.160> um<00:18:10.000> how

00:19:44.600 --> 00:19:53.440
And<00:19:44.760> you<00:19:44.840> know,<00:19:45.000> anybody<00:19:45.520> that<00:19:45.720> watches<00:19:46.120> the<00:19:46.240> stock<00:19:46.600> market<00:19:47.360> knows<00:19:47.800> that<00:19:47.960> it's<00:19:48.160> like<00:19:48.880> um<00:19:49.840> you<00:19:49.880> know,<00:19:50.080> years<00:19:51.440> before<00:19:52.240> the<00:19:52.360> technology<00:19:53.080> already

00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:05.280
So,<00:19:57.960> what<00:19:58.120> does<00:19:58.280> that<00:19:58.480> put<00:19:58.640> us<00:19:58.800> on?<00:19:59.200> You<00:19:59.320> know,<00:19:59.400> maybe<00:19:59.760> one,<00:20:00.320> two<00:20:00.760> years<00:20:01.720> before<00:20:02.200> we're<00:20:02.360> going<00:20:02.480> to<00:20:02.560> start<00:20:03.240> seeing<00:20:03.600> the<00:20:03.760> impact<00:20:04.480> of<00:20:04.680> that.

00:20:12.760 --> 00:20:19.960
Like,<00:20:13.040> well,<00:20:13.640> I<00:20:13.760> mean,<00:20:13.920> it's<00:20:14.080> obsolete<00:20:14.520> in<00:20:14.600> the<00:20:14.680> sense<00:20:14.920> that<00:20:15.080> like<00:20:15.560> the<00:20:15.840> biggest,<00:20:16.480> you<00:20:16.560> know,<00:20:16.680> the<00:20:17.000> the<00:20:17.520> the<00:20:17.640> large<00:20:18.040> caps,<00:20:18.440> the<00:20:18.560> mega<00:20:18.800> caps,<00:20:19.200> they're<00:20:19.360> probably<00:20:19.800> going

the<00:20:26.880> the<00:20:27.000> biggest<00:20:27.520> users<00:20:28.120> of<00:20:28.480> it<00:20:29.040> are<00:20:29.280> the<00:20:29.440> largest<00:20:29.880> companies.
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:33.640
So,<00:20:31.920> why<00:20:32.160> are<00:20:32.320> they<00:20:32.480> building<00:20:32.840> these<00:20:33.000> data<00:20:33.240> centers<00:20:33.520> then?
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:38.400
I<00:20:33.680> mean,<00:20:33.880> we're<00:20:34.040> they're<00:20:34.160> talking<00:20:34.400> like<00:20:34.520> a<00:20:34.600> hundred<00:20:34.920> billion-dollar<00:20:35.720> investment<00:20:36.400> in<00:20:36.680> just<00:20:36.960> the<00:20:37.040> state<00:20:37.280> of<00:20:37.400> Utah.
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:40.640
Like,<00:20:38.640> what<00:20:39.200> what<00:20:39.400> is<00:20:39.640> the<00:20:39.800> incentive<00:20:40.240> behind<00:20:40.480> this?
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:42.440
How<00:20:40.760> are<00:20:40.880> they<00:20:41.040> raising<00:20:41.400> this<00:20:41.600> money?<00:20:41.920> What<00:20:42.120> is<00:20:42.240> this?
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:48.240
How<00:20:42.560> does<00:20:42.680> this<00:20:42.840> make<00:20:43.040> sense?<00:20:44.880> I<00:20:44.960> mean,<00:20:45.560> why<00:20:45.760> does<00:20:45.920> anything<00:20:46.320> happen<00:20:46.720> in<00:20:46.800> capitalism,<00:20:47.560> you<00:20:47.600> know?
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.719
Like,<00:20:49.040> if<00:20:49.200> someone's<00:20:49.680> paying<00:20:50.040> the<00:20:50.120> bills<00:20:50.840> answer,<00:20:51.120> actually.
00:20:51.719 --> 00:20:56.200

Someone's<00:20:56.720> building<00:20:57.120> the<00:20:57.240> stuff,<00:20:57.920> right?
00:20:58.560 --> 00:21:04.640
I<00:20:58.720> actually<00:20:59.160> think<00:20:59.960> uh<00:21:00.160> like<00:21:00.840> that's<00:21:01.200> kind<00:21:01.480> of<00:21:01.600> the<00:21:01.720> tongue-in-cheek<00:21:03.080> answer<00:21:03.600> to<00:21:03.840> it.
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:14.480
Um<00:21:05.400> but<00:21:06.200> it's<00:21:06.560> it's<00:21:06.880> also<00:21:07.240> like<00:21:07.840> the<00:21:07.960> truth<00:21:08.760> when<00:21:09.000> you<00:21:09.120> see<00:21:09.760> the<00:21:10.040> this<00:21:10.280> like<00:21:10.520> I<00:21:10.560> don't<00:21:10.720> know<00:21:10.800> if<00:21:10.920> you've<00:21:11.040> seen<00:21:11.240> the<00:21:11.320> graph<00:21:11.680> of<00:21:11.840> like,<00:21:12.480> you<00:21:12.600> know,<00:21:13.720> um
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:18.840
OpenAI,<00:21:15.640> right?<00:21:15.960> So,<00:21:16.080> check<00:21:16.480> to,<00:21:17.200> you<00:21:17.280> know,<00:21:17.480> CoreWeave.

00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.560

Now,<00:24:43.880> let's<00:24:44.080> talk<00:24:44.320> about<00:24:44.800> Anthropic,<00:24:45.960> who<00:24:46.320> I<00:24:46.480> was<00:24:46.680> like<00:24:46.920> looking<00:24:47.400> at,<00:24:48.240> um,<00:24:48.560> a<00:24:48.640> projection<00:24:49.880> that<00:24:50.160> said<00:24:50.400> like<00:24:50.600> by<00:24:50.760> 2028<00:24:52.480> they

00:24:59.320 --> 00:25:12.680
Um,<00:25:00.760> but<00:25:02.680> what<00:25:03.200> I<00:25:03.360> have<00:25:03.640> never<00:25:04.160> seen<00:25:05.160> this<00:25:05.560> equivalent,<00:25:06.240> an<00:25:06.360> equivalent<00:25:07.080> of<00:25:08.120> is

I've<00:25:13.040> never<00:25:13.320> heard<00:25:13.640> more<00:25:13.800> people<00:25:14.120> talking<00:25:14.440> about<00:25:14.680> a<00:25:14.720> private<00:25:15.160> deal.
00:25:16.280 --> 00:25:20.040
Yeah.<00:25:16.600> Than<00:25:16.720> Anthropic.<00:25:17.680> Yeah.<00:25:18.040> Like<00:25:18.120> it's,<00:25:18.800> it's<00:25:19.080> crazy.
00:25:20.040 --> 00:25:28.600
Like<00:25:20.920> people<00:25:21.320> are<00:25:21.480> like<00:25:21.960> foaming<00:25:22.440> at<00:25:22.560> the<00:25:22.640> mouth<00:25:22.960> to<00:25:23.080> get<00:25:23.240> in<00:25:23.360> and<00:25:23.520> I've<00:25:24.080> heard<00:25:24.280> people<00:25:24.560> that<00:25:24.680> have<00:25:24.760> like,<00:25:25.000> hey,<00:25:25.160> we<00:25:25.280> got<00:25:25.440> a<00:25:25.520> syndicate<00:25:26.440> that<00:25:27.920> put<00:25:28.240> together

00:25:32.840 --> 00:25:39.240
Like<00:25:34.080> it's,<00:25:34.880> I've<00:25:35.200> never,<00:25:36.360> never<00:25:36.840> heard<00:25:37.760> anything<00:25:38.320> like<00:25:38.560> that.
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:44.400
There's<00:25:39.480> like<00:25:39.720> no<00:25:40.360> equivalent<00:25:41.600> in<00:25:41.800> my<00:25:42.000> mind.
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:47.320
Yeah,<00:25:44.920> it's,<00:25:45.280> it's<00:25:45.520> kind<00:25:45.840> of,<00:25:46.160> it's<00:25:46.320> kind<00:25:46.560> of<00:25:46.640> nuts.
00:25:47.320 --> 00:25:51.720
But<00:25:47.560> I<00:25:47.720> actually<00:25:48.200> do<00:25:48.480> think<00:25:48.840> Anthropic<00:25:49.880> is<00:25:50.200> that<00:25:50.600> good,<00:25:51.160> right?
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:54.200
If<00:25:51.880> you<00:25:52.000> go<00:25:52.240> a<00:25:52.280> little<00:25:52.560> bit<00:25:53.240> for<00:25:53.360> their<00:25:53.520> history,<00:25:53.960> right?
00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:57.720
They<00:25:54.465> were<00:25:54.731> OpenAI<00:25:54.996> people<00:25:55.262> and<00:25:55.527> like<00:25:55.793> some<00:25:56.058> of<00:25:56.324> the<00:25:56.589> best<00:25:56.855> engineers<00:25:57.120> left.
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:06.680
They've<00:25:58.000> been<00:25:58.240> operating<00:25:59.560> with<00:26:00.520> like<00:26:01.320> a<00:26:01.440> fraction<00:26:02.720> of<00:26:03.000> the<00:26:03.120> capital<00:26:04.080> and<00:26:04.440> growing<00:26:04.800> at<00:26:04.920> a<00:26:05.000> much<00:26:06.160> faster
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:15.200
rate.<00:26:07.400> Um,<00:26:08.560> and<00:26:08.840> that's<00:26:09.400> kind<00:26:09.800> of<00:26:09.960> incredible<00:26:12.400> if<00:26:12.600> you<00:26:12.720> think<00:26:12.960> about<00:26:13.280> like<00:26:14.280> one<00:26:14.840> of
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.080
the<00:26:15.440> people<00:26:15.840> they've<00:26:16.040> accelerated<00:26:16.600> past<00:26:16.920> is<00:26:17.120> Google.
00:26:18.080 --> 00:26:26.560
Right?<00:26:18.920> Which<00:26:19.160> has<00:26:19.560> DeepMind,<00:26:20.280> which<00:26:20.560> you<00:26:20.680> know,<00:26:21.040> until<00:26:22.000> Anthropic<00:26:22.560> came<00:26:22.800> along<00:26:23.640> was<00:26:24.080> known<00:26:24.440> as<00:26:24.720> the,<00:26:25.200> you<00:26:25.360> know,<00:26:26.400> you

know,<00:26:26.680> kind<00:26:26.880> of<00:26:27.000> gold<00:26:27.360> star<00:26:27.800> world's<00:26:28.200> best<00:26:28.520> like<00:26:28.760> general<00:26:29.160> purpose<00:26:29.640> AI<00:26:30.000> system.
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:39.480
And<00:26:31.080> Anthropic<00:26:31.680> is<00:26:31.840> just<00:26:32.560> growing<00:26:32.960> at<00:26:33.120> this<00:26:33.360> rate<00:26:33.760> and<00:26:33.920> I<00:26:34.000> mean,<00:26:35.000> I<00:26:36.000> use<00:26:36.440> it<00:26:37.080> for<00:26:38.040> a<00:26:38.120> number<00:26:38.560> of<00:26:38.680> things.
00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:47.800
I'm<00:26:39.720> so<00:26:40.280> impressed<00:26:41.480> with<00:26:41.800> how<00:26:42.000> it's,<00:26:42.840> with<00:26:43.040> how<00:26:43.200> it's<00:26:43.400> progressing<00:26:44.040> and<00:26:44.200> they're<00:26:44.560> like,<00:26:45.200> they're<00:26:45.400> prepared<00:26:45.960> to,<00:26:46.600> you<00:26:46.720> know,<00:26:47.160> eat<00:26:47.680> the

Like,<00:26:56.520> so<00:26:57.320> it's<00:26:57.560> one<00:26:57.680> of<00:26:57.760> those<00:26:58.000> things<00:26:58.360> where<00:26:58.480> it's<00:26:58.640> like<00:26:58.920> I,<00:26:59.120> I<00:26:59.200> actually<00:26:59.560> think<00:26:59.800> they<00:26:59.960> could<00:27:00.800> do<00:27:00.960> that<00:27:01.320> and,<00:27:01.600> and,<00:27:01.800> and,<00:27:02.040> and,<00:27:03.000> you<00:27:03.080> know,<00:27:03.200> if<00:27:03.280> they<00:27:03.440> can,<00:27:04.520> you
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:09.040
almost<00:27:04.880> have<00:27:05.000> to<00:27:05.120> look<00:27:05.280> at<00:27:05.360> some<00:27:05.520> of<00:27:05.600> these<00:27:06.160> revenue<00:27:06.600> projections<00:27:07.200> as<00:27:07.360> conservative.
00:27:09.040 --> 00:27:12.000
Yeah.<00:27:09.480> No,<00:27:09.680> it<00:27:09.800> gets,<00:27:10.040> it<00:27:10.160> gets<00:27:10.360> pretty<00:27:10.560> wild<00:27:10.880> pretty<00:27:11.080> quick.
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:15.400
Um,<00:27:12.440> how<00:27:12.600> do<00:27:12.720> you<00:27:13.040> stay<00:27:13.520> ahead<00:27:14.080> and<00:27:14.360> on<00:27:14.520> Prospero,<00:27:15.120> right?

00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:24.200
And<00:35:20.080> like<00:35:20.640> that's<00:35:20.920> where<00:35:21.040> we<00:35:21.160> really<00:35:21.440> differentiate<00:35:22.520> like<00:35:23.120> in<00:35:23.240> terms<00:35:23.480> of<00:35:23.560> how<00:35:23.680> we're<00:35:23.800> building<00:35:24.080> this.
00:35:24.200 --> 00:35:28.560
When<00:35:24.320> we're<00:35:24.440> raising<00:35:24.720> a<00:35:24.760> crowdfunding,<00:35:25.200> there<00:35:25.280> was<00:35:25.400> a<00:35:25.440> question<00:35:25.760> of<00:35:25.880> like<00:35:26.040> what's<00:35:26.200> the<00:35:26.280> difference<00:35:26.600> between<00:35:26.880> you<00:35:27.040> and<00:35:27.240> Wealthfront<00:35:27.480> Finance?

00:35:31.720 --> 00:35:37.440
Like<00:35:31.920> Wealthfront,<00:35:32.480> Betterment,<00:35:33.160> they<00:35:33.280> paid<00:35:33.520> about<00:35:33.760> a<00:35:33.800> thousand<00:35:34.280> dollars<00:35:35.200> a<00:35:35.320> user<00:35:36.320> to<00:35:36.440> grow.

And<00:35:38.320> you<00:35:38.440> know,<00:35:38.680> right<00:35:39.040> now<00:35:39.960> we<00:35:40.240> get<00:35:40.440> our<00:35:40.760> we<00:35:40.880> get<00:35:41.080> users<00:35:41.400> into<00:35:41.640> our<00:35:41.760> system<00:35:42.160> at<00:35:42.280> about<00:35:42.600> a<00:35:42.640> dollar.
00:35:43.600 --> 00:35:51.280
Um<00:35:44.440> we<00:35:44.600> retain<00:35:45.560> we<00:35:45.680> retained<00:35:46.040> about<00:35:46.280> 15%<00:35:46.960> of<00:35:47.080> our<00:35:47.200> users<00:35:47.680> all<00:35:47.960> time<00:35:48.520> from<00:35:48.640> the<00:35:48.720> people<00:35:49.000> that<00:35:49.120> have<00:35:49.240> come<00:35:49.440> into<00:35:49.760> our<00:35:50.280> system,<00:35:50.760> right?
