- Part 2: How Today’s AI is like the Early 2020s) (Cloudcast Eps.828)
THE EARLY 2020s were SHAPED by COVID and FREE CASH
- VCs were pouring money into startups; “unicorns” were a daily occurrence
- Many assumed that “today’s normal” would be the “forever normal”
- Business models were drowned out by technology fascination
DO CURRENT AI ECONOMICS AND FUNDING LEVELS MAKE SENSE?
- VCs and cloud providers are funding infrastructure like it’s 1997-2000
- Business models around AI are still being sought out
- Funding valuations have no basis in anything real, at least not yet
- Are we near an AI (economic) crash, or at least deflation of the bubble?
