Monologue: Concentration Risk

from Better Offline Hosted by Cool Zone Media and iHeartPodcasts

In this week's Better Offline monologue, Ed Zitron runs through how 80% of Anthropic and OpenAI’s enterprise revenues come from the top 1% of its customers, and how the entire AI bubble is a series of different concentration risks supported by venture capital and debt.
