20VC: Bret Taylor: The AI Bubble and What Happens Now | How the Cost of Chips and Models Will Change in AI | Will Companies Build Their Own Software | Why Pre-Training is for Morons | Leaderships Lessons from Mark Zuckerberg

I think the large hyperscalers are in a challenging position where there's a big difference between owning and operating one of the best frontier models and not. As a consequence, I think that I'd probably make very similar decisions to all of those firms because there's so much value for consumer products,

Sort of like in the infrastructure as a service market, it really consolidated around a very small handful of companies. And much like AI, you know, building data centers like scale helps. So, you know, the more data centers you operate, the more you can afford the CapEx to expand your data center footprint.

You know, it should be financed and built by the large hyperscalers because of the CapEx requirements to do so. And I think as the training market sort of consolidates and people start, I think it will probably help because the revenue will sort of consolidate, you know, around those providers as well. So it is a complex situation.
