We have the smartest technology ever built — so why hasn't the economy moved?
In the first episode of This is the Point, journalist Alex Kantrowitz and investor Sheel Mohnot go head-to-head on the biggest disconnect in tech: AI can solve Millennium Prize problems and pull $100B in revenue, but GDP growth is stuck at 1.7%. One critical take, one bullish take, and a running fight about what actually deserved your attention this week.
In this episode:
- The $100B AI revenue vs. flat GDP paradox
- The Ramp data: are AI spenders really growing faster?
- The AI jobs boom — 1M created vs. 200K lost
- The Anthropic researcher who resigned: "gambling with our lives"
- A conspiracy theory about why the doom talk keeps coming
- Would a superintelligent AI even need us?
- Meta's AI trust problem
- Instinct's $2.5B bet and Google's fumble
- Resy declares war on booking bots
- Two stories the press got wrong: the Kenya outsourcing piece and the folding iPhone
