“I actually don't think like quote unquote AI companies are very set up for success. That's actually probably not where value's gonna accrue. The value's gonna accrue like in two areas. In the most important area, I think, do you have massive distribution?”

AISO Market Calls classifies public statements from public sources. A classification such as long thesis, short thesis, or explicit call describes the content of the public statement and does not prove that the speaker actually entered, exited, or held a position. Market performance shown is calculated from public market data around the source publication or timestamp. It is not investment advice.
