The AI "FOMO Feeding Frenzy" Is Here

Dan Nathan hosts Amish Jani, co-founder and partner at FirstMark Capital, to discuss his tech investing career and why AI represents the fastest, largest technological sea change he has seen. Jani argues historical comparisons break down as markets and capital needs have scaled, and that gen AI’s apparent “intelligence” has surprised even early researchers. They debate token optimization, enterprise adoption timelines, and whether model routing, open source, and alternative chips will reshape demand without collapsing frontier-model growth. The conversation explores the massive, debt-fueled AI infrastructure build, parallels to late-1990s fiber, NVIDIA’s incentives to diversify customers, and the risk of a new algorithmic or hardware paradigm making today’s spend obsolete. Jani expects value to shift from infrastructure to application software, with incumbents needing rapid product execution and targeted M&A, and he highlights opportunities in vertical AI, agent security, AI infrastructure tooling, consumer agents, and stablecoin/blockchain adoption. — FOLLOW US YouTube: @RiskReversalMedia Instagram: @riskreversalmedia Twitter: @RiskReversal LinkedIn: RiskReversal Media The financial opinions expressed in Risk Reversal content are for information purposes only.
