Or, of course, for Sam Altman not to be lying. For HAI to actually come out of OpenAI, and by the way, it's going to need to be in the next year. I don't think they've got even three quarters left. I think that once this falls apart, once the markets realize, oh shit, this is not profitable, this is not sustainable, they're going to walk away from it.

When companies realize that generative AI has given them a couple percent profit, maybe, they're going to be pissed because this is not a stock rally worthy boondoggle. This is not going to be pretty. When things fall apart for Nvidia, which is still over $1,000, when those orders stop coming in quite as fast, what do you think is going to happen to tech stocks?

Startups are already having trouble raising money. And they're having trouble raising money because the people giving out the money are too disconnected from the creation of software and hardware. The only way to fix Silicon Valley. Perhaps is an apocalypse. Perhaps is people like Sam Altman getting washed out. I don't want it to happen. I really must be bloody clear.

But maybe it won't be apocalyptic. Maybe it would just be a brutal realignment and maybe Silicon Valley needs that realignment because this industry desperately needs a big bath full of ice and they need to dunk their head in it aggressively and wake the hell up. Venture capital needs to put money back into real things.

The largest tech companies need to realign and build for sustainability so they're not binging and purging staff with every boom. And if we really are at the end of the hypergrowth era, Every tech company needs to be thinking profit and sustainability again. And that's a better Silicon Valley. Because a better Silicon Valley builds things for people. It solves real problems.

It doesn't have to lie about what the thing could do in the future so that it can sell a thing today. And I realize that sounds like the foundation of most venture capital. That's fine at the seed stage. That's fine at this moonshot stage where you're early, early days. It is not befitting the most famous company in tech. It is not befitting a multi-billionaire.

It is not befitting anyone and it is insulting to the people actually building things both in and outside of technology. The people I hear from after every episode, they are angry. They are frustrated because there are good people in tech. There are people building real things. There are people that remember a time when the tech industry was exciting.

When people were talking about cool shit in the future and then they'd actually do it. Returning to that is better for society and the tech industry. just don't know when it's going to happen.
