Billionaire and DoubleLine Capital CEO Jeffrey Gundlach warns that the AI mania is a frenzy that has already happened twice in history. In a new CNBC interview, the billionaire says investors tend to discount transformative technologies early, driving valuations to levels that later struggle to justify themselves once growth normalizes. He recalls a similar event that happened over 100 years ago, when humanity adopted electricity en masse. “And I use the analogy of electricity. In 1900, people started to realize that electricity was going to change the world. And they were right. And so, there was a mania in electricity…

Data from the firm’s latest 13F filing shows that it holds 95.8 million CoreWeave shares, accounting for 76% of assets under management.

It’s skill. It’s scale, and it’s scarcity. So I’ll start with scale. When we started investing in CoreWeave, we were talking about 100 GPU…
Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei says the rapid advance and diffusion of AI could eliminate half of white-collar jobs within five years, and he is now laying out the reasons behind the forecast.

Amodei says that private conversations with CEOs about plans for AI adoption and labor reduction convinced him the public had not…
A hedge fund management firm says Intel (INTC) is now trading in meme stock territory after securing a $5 billion deal with Nvidia (NVDA). In a CNBC interview, Gene Munster, co-founder and managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, says the market’s reaction to Nvidia’s deal with Intel far outweighed the underlying business impact. Yesterday, INTC skyrocketed and rallied to as high as $33 to print gains of over 30% after news of the multi-billion-dollar deal broke. Munster says the rally is all about hype. “I think it’s up because it’s a validation. This is a massive validation. If you look…
A fresh rate cut is giving new fuel to the technology rally, according to one of Wall Street’s most recognizable voices on tech and AI. In a new Bloomberg interview, Dan Ives says the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut borrowing costs opens the door to another stage of growth in chips, software, and energy infrastructure. He says the Fed’s action is a pivotal moment for sidelined investors to deploy their dry powder into tech, comparing the sector’s momentum to a late-night party that still has hours to go. “To me, that’s a bright green light for more money to come…
Steve Eisman, the investor who rose to fame betting against subprime mortgages in The Big Short, says the AI trade remains the dominant force driving markets.

Eisman notes that while housing and employment data have been soft, the main catalyst for stocks has not changed. “I mean, the economy is pretty good. The employment situation is a little weak. The AI story continues. Nothing seems to be going to stop that, especially after…
Solana (SOL) co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko is warning that the rapid pace of artificial intelligence and quantum computing could soon force Bitcoin (BTC) and other blockchains to abandon their current cryptography. In a panel discussion at the All-In Summit, the Solana co-creator says the convergence of multiple technologies has created an inflection point that could put existing signature schemes at risk. He warns that an AI-assisted quantum breakthrough that could breach Bitcoin’s cryptography is a scenario that could happen in the next few years. “I feel like 50 -50 within five years, there is a quantum breakthrough, and part of that…

No… I mean, if you look at our 13F filings, I mean, we’re big in the energy names…
VanEck is placing a long-term bet on artificial intelligence, arguing that the AI trade is only in its earliest stages of growth and adoption. In a new CNBC interview, VanEck product manager Nicholas Frasse says the AI boom is a structural cycle that will take years to fully play out. According to Frasse, AI is in the early innings of a super cycle, with companies building giant data centers, known as the foundational layer. He says that the buildout will move into the application layer, where AI runs in consumer and enterprise apps. Eventually, Frasse expects AI to “move out…
