San Francisco’s Mist Opportunity is Wooing Tourists With Chilly Weather and more hot AI news: Ilya Sutskever starting new company Safe Superintelligence Inc and Nvidia was the most valuable company for one day and now valued at “only” $3.11 trillion! 💸 My Thoughts on Stablecoin - I spoke with Sonali Basak and Tim Stenovec on "Bloomberg Crypto." last week. Stablecoin is a "super important topic" to the World and the US needs to "get their act together" and catch up to the rest of the world. Watch on Bloomberg. 💰 AI’s $600B Question - Great article on how different players in the ecosystem are capturing value. Microsoft alone likely represented ~22% of Nvidia’s Q4 revenue.
