Yeah. How have you been processing the SaaSpocalypse narrative? Uh, Benioff was given some pushback. Uh, other folks were very bullish on it. There's a whole bunch of different data points. I've been just shocked that, uh, We haven't seen revenue declines from really any software company that's been targeted, although, you know, you could talk about the long term, but slowing growth, the growth like these companies are still growing even if they are in like the direct path of the AI companies.

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.
