Jeff Bezos is raising $100 billion for Project Prometheus to acquire
manufacturing companies and transform them with AI. Mark Zuckerberg is
building a personal AI CEO agent to bypass management layers at Meta.
The question: where does AI value actually accrue?
Ram Ahluwalia argues the consumer wins. Venture capital is subsidizing
the real economy through tools like Claude that lose money but deliver
massive productivity gains. Chris Perkins says people are resilient and
will adapt the way influencers emerged from the internet era.
The conversation takes a darker turn when Ram warns that declining birth
rates combined with cheap robots lower the cost of conflict. When
soldiers cost $8,000 at scale, the calculus for war changes entirely.
