J-Cal Explains Why Google is UNDERRATED in AI ๐Ÿ‘€

On E227, the besties discussed Google's value in a post-search world if AI replaces traditional search.

@Jason broke down why he things Google is being slept on:

"I think there's a chance that we're underestimating the power of Google's ad network right now."

"They have four or five products that are one or two billion users per month. You have YouTube, Google Docs, Android."

"They have such a data advantage and such a deep integration into people's lives because they use three or four services, I think Google's gonna figure this out."

"It's quite possible that knowing your queries in Gemini, knowing what you're doing in Calendar, knowing what you're watching on YouTube could lead to a stream of more targeted ads that do better and are more valuable."

"We've been seeing a number of startups that are figuring out how to use your queries and what you're doing in AI to present to you search results."

"So imagine you're doing a Gemini search and on the side of it, it's giving you a rolling list of ads or offers that you might be more interested in."

"That could be a better advertising product than even search itself."

"I think YouTube search is the place to go all-in."

"Right now, when you do a YouTube search, it just gives you 10 links, right? It just gives you that rolling thing."

"You should be able to ask a question to YouTube, and you should be able to ask questions to your calendar."

"You should be able to say, who have I met with over the last 10 years? Who I'm no longer in touch with and what are they up to?"

"And it should do a Gemini search inside of Google Calendar. It's very light right now."

"And then if you did that on YouTube, this would train people at the point of pain in a very deep way without sacrificing Google Search queries too aggressively."

Philippe Laffont Explains His Bull Case for the US Economy: Tokens > Tariffs

@plaffont on E227:

"Tokens to an AI model is like fuel to a car or electricity to a computer. Right?"

"Microsoft said that in their Q1, they processed 100T, 50T alone in March."

"And so the tokens are going basically vertical, which is probably because of these reasoning engines, which are much more sophisticated and require more compute power."

"It's a bit unfair for Trump, but the market did not just go down because of tariffs. "

"If you remember, it went down because people freaked out, 'We're in an AI bubble, AI's not really working, what's the ROI on AI?'"

"That was maybe a third to a half of the problem."

"And I think what Microsoft said is like, CapEx is going up and everybody has a gigantic shortage of chips right now."

"That I know for sure from all of our private companies, public companies, there's a shortage of chips, a shortage of compute power."

"Look at the next year or two, at some point, tariffs go away."

"Trump makes this big deal with deregulation."

"The tax breaks sort of cancel out the tariffs."

"We move on and what are we left with? We're left with tokens."

"All these people that say, 'Oh, this is the end of American exceptionalism.'"

"I almost want to say, 'No, you guys are wrong. This is the beginning!'"

โ€œWe do not measure the progress of our investments by what their market prices do during any given year. Rather, we evaluate their performance by the two methods we apply to the businesses we own:

The first test is improvement in earnings, with our making due allowance for industry conditions

The second test is whether their moats (competitive advantages) have widened during the yearโ€
