Full Episode
Brad Gerstner's here joining us hot after crashing the stock market and popping the AI bubble. Well done, Brad. We're going to get into it. All of our portfolios, thank you, rolled down 15% this week.
Can we ask OpenAI to just put a moratorium on any more public statements or appearances for another couple months?
Good job, Brad. You decided you'd be a podcaster. You're like, hey, let me ask a couple of hard questions here. And you popped the AI bubble.
Yeah, something like that. Do as I say, not as I do. Are we getting into it?
Because I think it is interesting, actually. Oh, it's super interesting.
Super interesting.
Let's get it. Sam, of course, if you're not in the industry... Sam Altman appeared on the fabulous BG2 podcast last Friday, and it got a little frisky when our fifth bestie here asked what I thought was a completely legitimate question. You know, mundane question. Hey, you're making 13 billion.
It's actually a softball question, to be honest.
It was an underhanded pitch.
