What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Motivation included.
Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another Tom Bilyeu show live. Yesterday was a lot of fun, despite the markets starting to climb their way back. Yesterday, they got absolutely clobbered, losing trillions of dollars across basically all markets, including gold, silver, stocks, and crypto.
What caused the recent market selloff?
Is this the beginning of a bear market or was it just a transient drop? And we're already seeing it coming back. We're gonna be talking about all that and what it means to have a drop that rapid. regardless of whether we come back today in Conspiracy Corner or strapping in as claims of Epstein's Fortnite account being active after his death or actively being scrubbed from the internet in real time. It is so wild. I cannot believe that this is really the timeline that we're on. I'm getting sucked into the vortex. I'm not going to lie. They're starting to get to me. The Clintons have done an about face and are now ready to testify regarding their account knowledge of the Epstein situation. But in a very fascinating turn of events, they want the hearing to be public so that the whole truth can belong to the American people.
Tom, what is going on with these markets? Yesterday was a lot of fun. The markets got absolutely hammered as a massive series of sell-offs rocketed through practically every sector from precious metals to AI and crypto. It really was a bloodbath. The crash is being attributed to massive forced sell offs in what is being described by analysts as a classic risk off event driven by a confluence of a whole bunch of factors. The big concerns are over excessive AI spending by big tech, weakening U.S. labor data, which many believe signals a potential economic slowdown. and fears of tighter monetary policy under a possible hawkish Fed shift, which that one we're going to want to talk a lot more about with what is Warsh meaning to the market.
It's very interesting to see Trump just banging the drum about we have to lower rates. But the guy that he nominated, the market is responding to as if he's going to come in and be more hawkish than what we've been seeing with too late Jerome Powell, if Trump can be believed. So it's pretty fascinating. And the sudden move looks to many like it's a mechanical unwind of overcrowded trades at a time when liquidity is drying up, causing a cascading effect across many asset classes. And this is what happens.
How is AI impacting the software industry?
You've got a whole lot of people trading on debt. And when the um, the price of everything is going down. You get all these forced liquidations, which then causes the market to freak out. Now there are two distinct, but ultimately interrelated AI narratives that are driving some of the sell-off. And it's important that we tease them apart so we can get a slightly better understanding of why the Marcus's market is acting so skittish right now. I liken it to a horse, by the way, that like has heard something and is getting jumpy. Um, And so it's going to dart off in weird directions every now and then. All right. The first of the AI narratives that seem to be having a bigger impact of the two is that AI is beginning to encroach into the software application layer.
If you're not paying close attention to this, I don't think a lot of people understand how good AI is getting at coding. and Anthropix release of a new legal marketing and enterprise automation tool for its Claude Cowork product sent an absolute shockwave through the software sector. You guys need to try this stuff for yourself. So we are using it here at Impact Theory. I never know how much you guys know about what we're doing on the gaming side and all that. So we're constantly looking at how we can interface with AI. And the team that we have is just like, at first they were like, this is all crap. It doesn't work. It's not very interesting. And then slowly over time, it was like, well, actually like, you know, it's completing some of the lines of code for me.
And then it was like, whoa, like it's actually helping give me ideas. And it's not like I can just turn it over, but it's doing a lot.
