Who Thinks There's an AI Bubble?
About this episode
<p>Today's AI Daily Brief covers how GPT-5's launch changed Wall Street's thinking about the AI bubble debate and why old market comparisons might not work anymore. We look at Leopold Aschenbrenner, a 23-year-old former OpenAI researcher who raised $1.5 billion for his hedge fund "Situational Awareness" and beat markets by 47% after fees in just six months. Is it a trend? A bubble? Something new entirely? Plus a look at Nvidia's 15% deal with the White House to sell to China. </p><p><strong>Brought to you by:</strong></p><p>Gemini - Find Gemini CLI on GitHub.</p><p>KPMG – Go to <a href="http://www.kpmg.us/ai">https://kpmg.com/ai</a> to learn more about how KPMG can help you drive value with our AI solutions.</p><p>Blitzy.com - Go to <a href="https://blitzy.com/">https://blitzy.com/</a> to build enterprise software in days, not months </p><p>Vanta - Simplify compliance - <a href="https://vanta.com/nlw">https://vanta.com/nlw</a></p><p>Plumb - The automation platform for AI experts and consultants <a href="https://useplumb.com/">https://useplumb.com/</a></p><p>The Agent Readiness Audit from Superintelligent - Go to <a href="https://besuper.ai/ ">https://besuper.ai/ </a>to request your company's agent readiness score.</p><p>The AI Daily Brief helps you understand the most important news and discussions in AI.
