AI, Middle East, China, Tariffs, Recon Bill, Invest America | BG2 w/ Bill Gurley & Brad Gerstner
The repeal of the Biden diffusion rule has redirected US AI policy toward partnership, accompanying $1T commitments each from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE and a 5GW UAE-US AI campus with 2.5M GPUs.Tariffs now appear closer to the Bessent route at roughly $300B, while the reconciliation bill adds stimulus without solving the deficit; H20 approval and China’s open-source momentum remain key watchpoints.
Liberation Day, Tariffs, US v China Open Source, OpenAI, $CRWV, TikTok | BG2
Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs, the uncertain path to a deal with Xi, and the resulting shock to business investment frame a broader discussion of how geopolitics is reshaping AI.The conversation weighs OpenAI’s strategy and valuation, agent-driven threats to Google, CoreWeave’s durability, and the policy choices that could determine which technology platforms endure.
Market Predictions, Rates & Inflation, DOGE, CES, AI Compute | BG2 w/ Bill Gurley & Brad Gerstner
Higher rates, not AI, are the immediate valuation risk as the 10-year approaches 4.7% and could anchor stocks at 5.25–5.5%.Large-tech capex has risen from $160B to $260B while compute remains scarce, supporting Nvidia demand but intensifying power and business-model constraints.The market’s upside depends on non-tech earnings accelerating from 2% to 11%, with DOGE cuts and a reconciliation package by April or May as the key catalyst.
