Does his own confidence mean anything?

the same scored calls, split by how hard he was pushing at the mention that set his final stance. If credit rises with strength, his table-pounding carries information and you should weight it. If it's flat or inverted, his confidence is noise — treat a ×3 like a ×1. Cells under 5 calls are provisional and get no weight in the replay.

Which kind of claim to trust

by the tier of the mention that set his final stance — a dated prediction is a different animal from a passing lean, and they don't have to score alike

Where he's out on a limb

the differentiated part of his book — nobody else has taken a regular stance, or the rest of the table is on the other side. High information either way: these are the calls that make his record, and the ones with no cross-voice check on them.

Latest from him

support ×2 explicit_prediction 🏛️ The AI doomer campaign fails — no FDAI, open source survives E296 · 2026-11-07 ▶ 1:06:11
I think this is like you're getting into Dr. Doom scenarios. I think you're completely wrong. I think it's like a 1% chance of something crazy like this happens.
support ×3 explicit_prediction 🤖 AI compute capex supercycle has 12-24 months of runway E296 · 2026-11-07 ▶ 1:12:48
So I think there's 500 to 1,000 times the need for this. When that happens, this compute is going to go wherever it needs to go.
support ×3 positioning 🤖 Apple: the AI dark horse via local models E296 · 2026-11-07 ▶ 1:12:48
And so we're on the verge of ordering everybody a Mac Studio 512K for $20,000, which would mean $400,000 in compute on people's desktops and running local models first
support ×2 positioning 🤖 Enterprise AI sovereignty: workloads leave frontier APIs for private stacks E296 · 2026-11-07 ▶ 1:12:48
running local models first and then falling back to them because we don't want to be throttled. We want to have unmetered intelligence.
support ×3 explicit_prediction 🏛️ US data-center freeze pushes the next AI buildout offshore; the US becomes a net token importer E296 · 2026-11-07 ▶ 1:12:48
So offshore data centers will be the trend of the next two years. That's what you're going to see and desktop usage of local models. I'll just make that prediction here.
support ×3 positioning 📈 SpaceX post-IPO: multiple ways to win from $1.4T E296 · 2026-11-07 ▶ 1:18:30
It's going to be a no-brainer, let alone the prescience of SpaceX, which is severely undervalued as a stock and is... SpaceX, Tesla, I've been buying shares to this whole insanity.
support ×2 positioning 🤖 Tesla's second act: AI5 + energy + CyberCab E296 · 2026-11-07 ▶ 1:18:30
SpaceX, Tesla, I've been buying shares to this whole insanity.
support ×1 positioning 📈 It's 1997-98, not 1999 — the melt-up has years left E296 · 2026-11-07 ▶ 1:18:30
SpaceX, Tesla, I've been buying shares to this whole insanity.
support ×3 explicit_prediction 🤖 AI compute capex supercycle has 12-24 months of runway E295 · 2026-10-30 ▶ 34:57
The token usage is 500x. That means we're going to have not enough compute, and everybody's got to build out it completely wrong. There won't be enough.
support ×2 explicit_prediction 🤖 Anthropic IPO (~Oct 2026) is attractively priced at $1.5-2T E295 · 2026-10-30 ▶ 51:08
It's possible Anthropics business is bigger than the top three franchises in the history of business put together.
oppose ×1 sentiment 🏦 US fiscal spiral keeps long-end yields grinding higher E295 · 2026-10-30 ▶ 51:08
And that is something we've never seen, which means you have no choice but to buy American debt and this debt. If you're a global participant, where are you going to put your money? France, in China, you can't put it into China.
support ×1 sentiment 🤖 Frontier AI labs keep durable premium pricing (not commoditized) E295 · 2026-10-30 ▶ 52:55
Well, in the face of new evidence, you would have to say that they are lowering the prices and the opportunity in the enterprise is so great that they're not being dramatically impacted by it.
support ×2 sentiment 📈 It's 1997-98, not 1999 — the melt-up has years left E295 · 2026-10-30 ▶ 58:44
There's so much growth left here when every single employee has an agent.
support ×1 sentiment 📈 2026 is the year of mega-IPOs E295 · 2026-10-30 ▶ 1:01:24
That's going to be really interesting when we have all of the hands turned over in this poker game when OpenAI files.
support ×3 positioning 🤖 Google wins consumer AI via distribution E295 · 2026-10-30 ▶ 1:13:24
So for me, I just literally bought some shares. So I'm long. I just bought more shares of Google while doing the show.
