  • David Sacks: Craft Ventures founder; contrarian on SaaS survival, deep AI agent analysis.
  • David Friedberg: Ohalo Genetics CEO; science angle on AI efficiency, Fed/Warsh expert.
  • Brad Gerstner: Altimeter Capital founder (guest host); SaaS valuation bear, Trump Accounts architect, pro-Elon/space compute.
• The Vibe: Bullish-technical with contrarian edge; optimistic on AI disruption amid elite distrust.

🎣 The Executive Hook

• The "One Big Idea": AI agents are commoditizing legacy SaaS, shifting value from siloed tools to recursive, open-data agent swarms that consolidate jobs and capture cross-app workflows—rebooting knowledge work like the internet did PCs. Founders must pivot to agentic layers or risk becoming dumb infrastructure.
• Why It Matters: In an AI-deflationary world (per Warsh), this crushes SaaS multiples (now 3.9x revenue all-time lows) while exploding productivity; capital flows to data platforms (Databricks +60% growth) and space compute, amplifying Fed's ability to cut rates without inflation.
