not going to watch this

if there is a bubble, then watch out for money supply. if it contracts because of interest rates or some random reason, then bubble will collapse.(if there was a bubble)

also iran war, nobody know what will happen if it escalates to full scale war. nothing good will happen, that's for sure.

Exactly, you need to be in the chosen group. The trusted group.

I think GPT 5.6 sol is pretty slow. I went back to 5.5

Though its been just 3 days I started using.

Half way through the chat, GPT 5.6 Sol stops and does a safety verification, pretty annoying

Folks if you believe this Ed guy, you're soon going be really disappointed.

LLMs are big, Codex app is huge. You can control the browser from within codex app with just natural language.

Tell codex to perform a few actions, you go get coffee and come back to work done. This is real boost in productivity.

They are paying for the installed based. The users mainly. And also the team.

Its complicated, this is how its going to be. People are going to have opinions and take sides or take no side at all.

Even if they lower costs to 0, it means nothing

Topline growth matters more than costs.

Mathematically - There is no limit to topline growth But cost cutting has a ceiling, which is the current costs.

You can only make(save) so much money with cost cutting

Topline growth is upper bound by total energy in the universe though.

Brad Gerstner confirmed that tokens aren't being sold at a loss. Whatever the formula, API + Subscription split, the companies are making a profit on net token sale.

They maybe running at loss after all the salaries and stock comp, but tokens are in profit now.

Can this project run for 30 years at loss? Google investors don't like that.

One day an exec will say lets reduce wasteful projects and cut this.

You can use Codex and Claude code for most of the tasks that you would manually do

Filing JIRA tickets, updates. Opening PRs, having AI review PRs. This will all use tokens.

No need to tokenmaxx, you will end up burning tokens with just regular AI usage

But growth stall, because competitors will capture future growth. You need to keep up.

Of course I acknowledge if Hersheys uses AI to make trillions of chocolates a second, there is an upper limit on consumption. And hence a limit on revenue.

Not true after Dec-Feb. Opus 4.6 and Codex 5.4 are real.

If you use AI to ship more features, even your competitors are going to use AI to ship more.

So is this how we increase productivity?

Who captures the value? For now looks like the chip makers and model makers.

I think social media companies don't need that

Enterprise software companies selling definitely need it. Customers ask was this tested? where is the test report?
