Is AI already in a bubble, or are we just in the first inning of something bigger than the internet, railroads, or electricity?

This is Episode 3 in our continuing series on artificial intelligence and venture capital, where Rick Spencer and Ali Mackani join the conversation to explore the AI hype cycle, the rise of large language models (LLMs), and why the real moat isn’t just data but context.

We cover:
⦁ Sam Altman’s warning that the AI market may be in a bubble
⦁ Why 99% of AI startups won’t survive (but the 1% will be generational)
⦁ How venture capital must evolve with Venture OS and AI-native startups
⦁ The robotics race and its connection to national security
⦁ How AI could transform the American Dream by lowering costs in housing, education, and healthcare

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or just curious about the future, this episode challenges how you think about AI, innovation, automation, and productivity.

👉 Subscribe for more conversations on AI startups, venture investing, robotics, and the future of technology.
