AI hype train might be speeding toward a crash, and big names like Nvidia and Meta are right in the front seat. Every large AI model is secretly learning the same language.

Master AI Agents 👨‍🏭👩‍🏭

What if your tasks kept running - even when you walked away?

While most people juggle tabs and chase tasks, a few are handing it all off - to AI agents that don’t assist, they act.

Imagine waking up with your inbox cleared, content posted, and calendar perfectly managed - all handled quietly, without you lifting a finger.

On 23rd July at 10 AM EST, we're pulling back the curtain.

It’s a Masterclass showing you how to architect AI agents that actually run your work - across 40+ tools - so you can focus on the parts only you can do.

AI INSIGHTS

ai-bubble-today-is-bigger-than-the-dot-com-bubble-in-the-1990s

According to Apollo’s chief economist Torsten Sløk, today’s AI boom is more dangerously inflated than the 1990s tech bubble, and this time, there’s way more at stake. We’re going bigger, and potentially worse.

→ The top 10 companies in the S&P 500 (Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft, Google, Amazon) are more overvalued now than they were in the late ‘90s.

His internal data shows P/E ratios (price-to-earnings) are at dot-com-busting levels. Except this time, almost 40% of the entire S&P 500 is tied up in those 10 names.

So if you think buying “the market” gives you broad exposure, you're basically betting on whether AI hype keeps soaring. Here’s what’s feeding the bubble:

  • Nvidia is pushing a $500B plan to build “AI factories”

  • Meta is allegedly offering $100M signing bonuses for top AI hires

  • Amazon may drop $8B more into Anthropic

  • OpenAI just spent $14B on ScaleAI… which then laid off 200 employees

Here’s what the sentiment looks like:

  • The BUZZ NextGen AI Sentiment Index (basically, an AI hype index for retail traders) is up 45% in 16 weeks

  • It's trading 29% above its 200-day moving average → highest since peak 2021

  • Analysts at BTIG say this is starting to look very frothy

Why It Matters: Let’s say the bubble pops. Then what? It won’t kill AI, just like the dot-com crash didn’t kill the internet. But the fallout could be rough. The tech is progressing. But that doesn’t mean Nvidia should be priced like it will run the entire global economy.

AI CHART

what-if-all-ai-models-are-basically-the-same

As AI models get bigger and smarter, they start learning the same things, in the same way. If true, this has massive implications for everything from whale communication to decoding ancient languages.

They say there’s one ideal way to represent relationships in the world → and all large models are converging toward it.

MIT formalized this in 2024, showing that bigger models in vision and language learn strikingly similar features. → Basically: The smarter they get, the more alike they become.

Now for the wild part, turning an AI’s internal vector back into the exact input text. It’s really hard. But by using iterative refinement and millions of queries, his team hit 94% accuracy on long sentences. If all big models speak the same internal language, we might:

  • Build universal inverters

  • Translate between closed models

  • Decode ancient texts like Linear A

  • Or even… talk to whales via shared semantic structures (hello, Project CETI)
