What the people who move markets are saying about this, in their own
words. These are views on the record, not scored bets: when a call here grows a number
and a deadline, it moves to the scoreboard. Newest first.

SoundHound CEO; enterprise agent AI a $1T market by 2030.
just the beginning. And I think the market for enterprise agent AI is going to be $1 trillion by 2030. And we have everything we need to
they are creating the biggest, most powerful monopoly of all time. Again, they're going to end the year with over 100 billion of ARR growing 10x year over year.
Self-declared prediction: named eight/nine-figure customers defect to open-source models. EVENT: will.
And I think, and I'll make this prediction here, that you're going to see some of the major customers of Anthropic and major customers of OpenAI. I'm talking about the eight and nine figure customers, people spending 50 million, 100 million a year. They're leaving. They're going to be leaving because they don't trust those companies to not steal the application layer and to compete with them. 11 Labs, Figma, lovable. They're all going to leave and they're all going to take Kimmy.
Frames the fork: duopoly holds means 5-10T each; open-source shift or token efficiency questions the premium.
if the answer is that it is a duopoly, then there is no risk to the revenue five to 10 years from now. These things are five to 10 trillion dollar companies each. But if you are right, or if there are harnesses that cut the token consumption because you stop wasting tokens to get to the same output, then it's a little bit more of a question mark.
Predicts courts bless AI training as fair use within a couple of years. EVENT: will.
I do think fundamentally that the conversion of that data into what I would call knowledge and ultimately the ability to create new outcomes from that knowledge that are not copyrighted, that are not copies of the original material, I do think is going to end up being the right fair use policy and it's going to be the right read on fair use.
The frontier edge shrinks to a smaller set of problems; cheap older models suffice for nearly everything.
I think we're going to find that using a cheap model that is six months old, one month year old, maybe even two years old, will have way, way more enough power for anything that we need in our day to day lives. In some sense, the cutting edge is going to be about solving a smaller and smaller set of problems while the follow-on stuff will be way more than capable enough for almost everything else.
Predicts no multilateral AI regulatory framework materializes. EVENT: wont.
I just don't think there's going to be a multilateral approach. What we could hope for is a little bit of convergence, where the different countries are talking to each other, and I think it's really important that the United States and China are talking to each other about this topic.
Claims clients get AI returns, on the eve of Palantir's Aug 3 earnings.
We're seeing the companies that we work with are getting a return. And my kind of clarion call to the entire industry is that we all need to be focused on turning these tokens into economic value.
what happens to the market if AI does not succeed. conditional answer to a host hypothetical; STRENGTH corrected firm->leaning; he explicitly would NOT short this market
