  • 178. What If the AI Bubble Never Pops?
    2025/11/05

    Jason and Jeff chat about the "circular" AI deals, whether AI stocks are just hype, and what it would actually take for this bubble to keep inflating.

    In this episode, we ask:

    Are AI stocks dangerously overvalued?

    What are these "circular deals" between companies like Nvidia, AMD, and OpenAI?

    Is this AI rally just like the dot-com bubble?

    Will AI lead to massive job losses, or will it just change what our jobs look like?

    Where will all the energy come from to power AI? (And what does this mean for nuclear power?)
