Stratechery's @benthompson on AI agents:

"Actually, one thing that Mark Zuckerberg said on a couple earnings calls ago that I thought was very astute, is we get hung up on technological definitions like, 'What is an agent?' and he’s like, 'Actually the largest and most successful agent in the world today is Facebook advertising', which is exactly right. Facebook advertising, people have it in their head that you go and you put in like demographics and you’re targeting and stuff"

Stratechery's @benthompson: "I think the ideal outcome for Google is they never put ads in Gemini, but they understand so much about you because of what you do in Gemini that they can then manifest that through ads on YouTube, through ads on Google, through ads on their other properties, and the challenge for OpenAI is they only have one place to put inventory, which is in ChatGPT."

The peculiarity of intellectual work is that, even when you see the world expanding, to the world you remain the same. You can experience immense progress and be of more value to others, yet there's "nothing to show" for it. It works very weirdly. But you only need one chance.

Dan Sundheim, Founder & CIO of D1 Capital Partners, on what stock he’d buy if there was a 10-year lockup:

“There’s very few tech companies I feel comfortable saying because I think tech just changes too quickly so it wouldn’t be a tech company. It would have to be a company with a moat that’s incredibly difficult to penetrate, with a growth rate well above GDP for a long time.

I like 𝐒𝐢𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 quite a bit… a company called 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐬 which I like a lot… they own the majority of the incinerators in the United States. You can’t really build more incinerators because of NIMBY.”

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧:

Investing ultimately comes back to analyzing a company’s moat. Not just whether a business has competitive advantages — but: how easily can those advantages be replicated?

How many layers of barriers to entry protect the business?

How durable are those advantages over long periods of time?

Particularly what he mentioned about 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐬:

“You 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝙉𝙄𝙈𝘽𝙔 and as you have 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘻𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦 and they have both the incinerators and 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝙣𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵. And so it’s just a very very good business and the starting multiple is very reasonable.”
