AI’s Biggest Threat Might Be Better AI

Know Your Risk Podcast

Show Notes

October 27, 2026 - What if the biggest threat to today’s AI winners isn’t fading demand—but technology getting better? Zach Abraham and Chase Taylor examine how cheaper chips, more efficient systems and AI’s own breakthroughs could put pressure on the profit margins powering the stock-market boom.

Zach argues that demand for greater computing power could keep expanding while the economics change for the companies supplying it. Chase offers a counterpoint: falling costs can encourage more adoption, and Nvidia’s advantage could prove more durable than skeptics expect. The question is who captures the profits as AI becomes cheaper and more useful.

They also unpack the latest AI fundraising, distinguish operating profitability from the enormous spending required to build these businesses, and question why investors reward some companies for reinvesting while penalizing others. Later, they weigh whether the recent selloff cleared enough crowded positions for a recovery—and why CoreWeave still presents radically different bull and bear cases.
