Gerard points out that the coming IPOs of Spacex (which now has XAI grafted onto it like a malignant tumor), OpenAI, and Anthropic will impact VC.

"But the great thing is, you don’t have to go along with this, and I urge you not to. You can refuse to use the chatbot. You can tell your professors that you don’t want them to use it or to require you to use it.
