> The problem with this AI stuff is we don't know how much we will be willing to pay for it, as individuals, as businesses, as nations. I guess we just don't know how far this stuff will be useful. The reasons for the high valuation is, in my guess, that there is more value here than what we have tapped so far, right?

I think the value now comes on how we make a product of it, for example, like OpenClaw. Whether we like or not, AI is really expensive to train, not only in monetary value but also in resources, and the gains have been diminishing with each “generation”. Let's not forget we heard promises that have not been fulfilled, for example AGI or “AI could potentially cure cancer, with enough power”.
