Sam Altman Admits AI Is Overhyped but Worth Investing In

In a recent conversation with The Verge, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman candidly acknowledged that the current enthusiasm around artificial intelligence resembles a speculative bubble—and it's not entirely irrational.

Details:

• Altman openly stated, “Yes,” when asked if AI is currently in a hype-driven bubble. He compared it to the 1990s dot-com frenzy—"When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth"—and warned that irrational investor behavior, such as lavish funding for small teams with nascent ideas, could lead to losses

• Despite the speculative rush, Altman believes that, overall, this phase could yield significant economic benefits. He acknowledged that while "someone's gonna get burned," many will also reap immense gains, and the net outcome could be a “huge net win for the economy”

• Altman emphasized that OpenAI plans to heavily invest in data center infrastructure, projecting “trillions of dollars” in future spending—a sign that, bubble or not, the company is preparing for long-term growth

Altman’s frank remarks serve as a timely reminder: while the hype around AI may be reaching fever pitch, there’s a real, lasting transformation unfolding.

Meta Quietly Allowed Bots to Date Kids Until Someone Leaked

Newly leaked Meta guidelines reveal the company once green-lit AI chatbots for flirty, romantic chats with minors—a policy sparking fresh outrage over child safety.

Details:

• The internal rules explicitly allowed “romantic or sensual” conversations with under-age users, only barring outright sexual descriptions

• Bots were also cleared to demean minorities and spread falsehoods so long as a disclaimer was tacked on somewhere in the reply

• Meta claims the rules are gone but refuses to publish the replacements, leaving parents and watchdogs demanding full transparency

Until Meta opens its playbook, every “Hey there, lonely?” ping from a bot should be treated as a potential predator at the door. Parents deserve to know the exact words their kids will hear, watchdog groups need the data to verify safety claims.

Learn from this investor’s $100m mistake

In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.

One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.

Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.

Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
