What Ben said
“I think the dynamics will be different [from the internet bubble]. The internet bubble, we didn't have enough demand because we had to build the internet. People had to get broadband. There weren't enough consumers on the internet to absorb all the bandwidth that had gotten built out. We don't really have a lack of demand in AI.”
— Ben Horowitz
“I don't want you chasing that fucking feeling [of saving the company from the brink] because that will cause you to take chances... There are chances that you have to take, and then there's chances you don't have to take.”
— Ben Horowitz (47:13)
