    Summary:

    Tech bro billionaire thinks no one knows what the impact of ai will be on the market but also that the impact will be huge for employees and that everyone should learn ai.

    Conclusion: Tech bro billionaire invested in ai and has realized that there is barely any real money to be made as of right now, to cope with his apparent bad judgement, he doubles down on the idea that ai soon be worth it. To continue his plan, he needs more funding and he doesn’t want to double down hard enough to do it all himself. So to find new investors, he sings the praise of ai and promises a great future, as the present looks… Well… Bad.
