Goldman Sachs and Sequoia Capital are skeptical that AI can generate enough value to warrant the $100's of billions being invested in the space. Both penned recent posts that suggest the economics don't make sense, but I think they're missing the bigger picture: AI is a Pascalian wager for megacap tech companies. If a megacap tech company bowed out of the AI race and AI ended up being as profound as bulls expect, that megacap tech company would be in Pascalian hell. Its competitors would eat up the biggest opportunity since the Internet. That company may even lose status as a megacap tech company. If a megacap bowed out of AI and was right, best case it saves $200b vs a $2t+ market cap. Who cares. Investors will have short memories for megacaps that invest heavily in AI even if AI never pans out (see META/metaverse). Investors will have short memories for those that disbelieve AI and end up being right. Pat on the back, now what can you do for me next. Investors will have painfully long memories for those who miss it. The rational strategy for all megacaps is to keeping investing aggressively into AI, and that's what I believe they'll do.

Do you think we're already in an AI bubble?

We’re giving AI to 75% of our customers at no extra charge. You read that right. Why? For many forward thinking companies and their employees, remote work has been a life changer. Companies can hire the best talent, regardless of the state where they live. Employees can spend more time with their families instead of commuting. But as a result, the founders, HR leaders, and accounting professionals at these companies are faced with a no-win choice: ◼️ hours spent deciphering confusing state compliance requirements, or ◼️ or thousands of dollars in fines.  _ When we introduced AI as part of our most expensive plan, we immediately saw how much stress it removed. However, that impact was limited to only a small fraction of our customers. It bothered us. So today, we’re adding AbstractOps AI Compliance Copilot to our most popular plan (Starter)... ** at no additional cost.** We’re able to do so without raising costs, because we operate incredibly lean, passing savings on to our customers. These customers, in turn, have graciously told their friends, and we’re so incredibly grateful. Head to the comments for my full thoughts on why we made this decision, and to help us spread the word.

Want an Apple Watch for your brain? Neurable is launching it this Spring. The MW75 Neuro headphones will track brain activity to optimize performance and focus just as the Apple Watch tracks our physical fitness. Founder/CEO Dr. Ramses Alcaide joined me on the latest The Deload podcast to talk about the new product as well as how Neurable's non-invasive BCI approach can compete with invasive BCI's like Neuralink and even how Neurable can make digital assistants like Siri smarter.
