Episode notes

Gold Rally Signals Flight, Not Systemic Collapse

  • Precious metals' rally signals some investors seeking alternative safe havens, not a collapse of U.S. finance.
  • Tyler Cowen treats it as a niche market move rather than systemic failure.

Fed Should Prioritize AI Risk Work

  • The Fed should proactively study AI's systemic risks and staffing needs rather than react after failures.
  • Make AI in finance a focused supervisory priority to spot new risks early.

Don't Launch Big Events Without The Nut

  • Events require a high revenue 'nut' to be profitable; expect $10–20M to simply turn on a large event.
  • Only scale events if you can reliably clear the fixed-cost threshold or they'll distract your core business.
