AI sticker shock explains the incredible stock market boom, but also the potential stock market bubble.

Oh boy.

But first, yetis, until last week, CEOs in America were treating AI kind of like Jack's dad treats guests at the childhood dinner table.

Right, right, Jack?

Of course my dad said the more the merrier, because he wasn't cooking, my mom was.

Get this, Amazon had a leaderboard to see who was using the most AI at the company like it was a golf tournament.

They were celebrating the number one guy.

Disney gamified AI use too.

The top chat GPT user at the company could dress up as Mickey Mouse for the day, do whatever he wants in Epcot.

Managers had the false belief that the more AI, the more productivity.

CEOs gave Jesse a $1,000 bonus for using Claude more than anyone else in Colorado.

The result of this belief was a trend called token maxing.

Token maxing?

Could you sprinkle on the context, Jack?

It's called token maxing because the unit of measurement for AI compute is called the token.

So like you just did a prompt on ChatGPT and it took like 31 tokens to process it.

So the way to hit number one on the token maxing leaderboard over at Disney?

Well, create AI agents that work 24-7.

Agents that crunch the spreadsheets while you're sleeping in the bedsheets.

In fact, some employees at Amazon created autonomous AI agents to do meaningless tasks.
