THE AI BUBBLE
š«§Whatās Going on With The AI Bubble?
The AI Bubble is often compared to The Dot-Com Bubble, and while there might be some surface-level similarities, the underlying conditions are drastically different.
Key Details:
The Dot-Com Bubble was driven by internet-based startups with limited track records and no clear paths to profitability. These internet-based startups were also heavily reliant on Venture Capital (VC) and Debt Financing (DF). Investors were driven by hype and speculation, focusing on metrics like āeyeballsā and āclicks.ā
In comparison, The AI Bubble is largely driven by established Tech Giants like Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Meta with diversified revenue streams and substantial cash reserves. For example, Meta generates roughly $3.43 billion in Positive Free Cash Flow (FCF) per month as of early 2025. So, what does that even mean?
After paying all operating expenses (e.g., rent, salaries, and supplies) and making necessary long-term investments (e.g., data center construction and nuclear energy deals), Meta still has $3.43 billion left over every month.
Why Itās Important:
The usage explosion of AI-powered products is insane. OpenAI just revealed that ChatGPT processes over 2.5 billion user queries (i.e., āpromptsā) every day from around the globe. About 330 million of those are coming from the U.S. alone. Thatās literally a single user query per American per day. ChatGPT has reportedly added over 4.5 million paying subscribers on Plus, Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans since the end of last year.
AI investments are a long-term play. AIās potential use cases through drug discovery, humanoid robots, and self-driving cars will transform how the world operates. The global AI market is projected to soar from $189 billion in 2023 to $4.8 trillion by 2033, a 25-fold increase in just a decade.

AI BENCHMARKS
š¹ļøFixing Overfitting With Game-Like Challenges
The Arc Prize Foundation just previewed āARC-AGI-3,ā which rigorously evaluates an AI Agentās ability to perceive, plan, and act in unfamiliar settings.
Key Details:
AI Agents are like proactive digital assistants that can autonomously operate across websites to browse, book, or buy without us lifting a finger.
āARC-AGI-3ā aims to directly address overfitting, which occurs when AI Agents learn to memorize patterns rather than generalize knowledge.
Imagine teaching your dog to roll over, but only when youāre wearing a red shirt. He listens perfectly whenever you wear a red shirt, yet the moment you change into a blue shirt, he ignores you.
Thatās overfitting: your dog learned to memorize patterns tied to your appearance (i.e., āred shirt = roll over!ā) rather than generalize knowledge (i.e., āroll over whenever told!ā).
āARC-AGI-3ā is an Interactive Reasoning Benchmark (IRB) that generates dynamic, game-like environments to rigorously test an AI Agentās ability to learn, reason, and generalize in unfamiliar settings.
Why Itās Important:
Itās not enough for an AI Agent designed to navigate digital storefronts to be able to browse products, compare prices, and complete purchases on a specific website under certain conditions.
It needs the ability to understand the general concepts of a āproduct,ā āprice,ā and āpurchaseā so it can handle different digital storefronts across countless websites.
