How I Invest with David Weisburd
E337: How to Invest in a Post Singularity World

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E337: How to Invest in a Post Singularity World

I like the fact that you're asking me this question, whereas behind us, we have a market that's completely dominated by AIs.

So this is the, as I understand it, this is the options exchange behind us, not the equities exchange.

E337: How to Invest in a Post Singularity World

If we had the equities exchange behind us, my retort would be, so it might as well be anyway, 90 plus percent of public equities are traded by algos at this point, not humans.

E337: How to Invest in a Post Singularity World

So I would argue we're already- What was the answer?

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E337: How to Invest in a Post Singularity World

How I Invest with David Weisburd

E337: How to Invest in a Post Singularity World

We're already living in an economy that's completely dominated by AI agents.

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E337: How to Invest in a Post Singularity World

If I walk out on the streets of Manhattan right now, I don't see humanoid robots carrying out economically productive tasks yet.

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E337: How to Invest in a Post Singularity World

I'm working to change that.

E337: How to Invest in a Post Singularity World

I have a portfolio company that's working to create the first humanoid robot road race.
