Finding The 1% of Stocks That Matter | Henry Ellenbogen Interview

Invest Like The Best

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Strategic Implication: The era of "free money" inflated the number of perceived compounders; a return to positive real rates demands a sharper focus on businesses demonstrating genuine financial discipline and competitive advantage.
  2. Builder/Investor Note: Seek out "Act 2" entrepreneurs and companies that can leverage AI to transform existing physical or IP-based advantages, not just create new AI products. Be prepared to buy more when market sentiment turns negative on strong businesses.
  3. The "So What?": The next 6-12 months will differentiate companies that merely adopt AI from those that strategically integrate it to build durable, uncatchable cost and distribution advantages.

⚡️Jailbreaking AGI: Pliny the Liberator & John V on Red Teaming, BT6, and the Future of AI Security

Latent Space

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Strategic Shift: AI security must move beyond superficial guardrails to a full-stack, offensive red-teaming approach that accounts for the expanding attack surface of AI agents and their tool access.
  2. Builder/Investor Note: Builders should prioritize integrating offensive security early in development. Investors should be wary of "security theater" and favor solutions that embrace open-source collaboration and address the entire AI application stack.
  3. The "So What?": The accelerating pace of AI development means static security solutions will quickly become obsolete. Proactive, community-driven, and full-stack security research is essential for navigating the next 6-12 months of AI evolution.
