| 0:00.0 | Anthropics CEO Dario Amodei has warned of the quote unquote yolo risk taking in the AI industry. |

| 0:12.6 | stood on this and framed this in a really interesting way. |
| 0:15.5 | I have not heard from many other CEOs since. |
| 0:18.7 | So today on the show, we're going to talk about what Anthropics |
| 0:21.0 | CEO thinks about the current state of AI, what we're moving into in the future, and the state of the quote-unquote AI bubble that we see today.

| 1:11.8 | let's get into what Anthropic CEO was saying. This all happened at the |
| 1:14.8 | New York Times deal book summit. The CEO of Anthropic Dario Amadei, he gave one of the most |
| 1:20.6 | candid assessments of kind of this financial AI bubble. He was talking about what are some timing errors in the industry, what are some |
| 1:29.7 | unwise risks. I think in the process of all of this, he threw a lot of shade at an unnamed |
| 1:35.8 | rival that obviously is opening eye, but he never actually said their name. So the big question |
| 1:41.0 | that he was asked is AI in a bubble. And he says that the answer is a lot more complicated, rather than just saying, you know, |
| 1:46.4 | the whole sector is overvalued or underpriced. |
| 1:49.8 | He made, I think, what I would call a much subtler argument. |
| 1:52.5 | He said that he, you know, remains fundamentally bullish on the long-term economic potential |

| 1:57.7 | But he also stressed that the timing of when value materializes is not very |
| 2:02.8 | certain. He said that the uncertainty is, you know, creating kind of these operational and |
| 2:08.0 | financial dangers. Here's a direct quote. He said, quote, there is an inherent risk when the |
