Artificial intelligence is in the early part of a “super cycle” that could last 20 years, according to a top investor.

Raj Ganguly, co-founder and co-CEO of venture capital firm B Capital, told CNBC’s “Beyond the Valley” podcast released Friday that AI is going to have a huge, global impact in the coming years.

“We’re in the very early stages, the third or fourth year of this AI super cycle. And it’s probably a 20-year super cycle. Maybe it’s a 15-year super cycle, but it is going to change the world,” Ganguly said.

fck VCs, AI is only to feed their own greed

Lol, man who's fortune is literally based on the AI bubble continuing to grow says he believes the AI bubble will continue to grow and wants other investors to believe it has enormous sustainable growth potential. Amazing journalism. This asshole isn't an AI scientist or even an executive. He's literally just a top investor.

Tldr: This asshats job is literally to convince people that AI is a good investment. Interviewing him on if he thinks AI is a good investment is financial journalism malpractice.

HA hA Ha!

Everybody has to play along with our delusions, or the market crashes because we're ridiculously over leveraged!

Muah ha hah! Mine is an evil laugh!

It's a little less ridiculous when you realise these are all market manipulation ploys to keep the stocks afloat, until these ghouls cash out on their investments.

[–] jaykrown@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

Why the fuck would anyone trust a co-CEO of a venture capital firm? They're financial weasels, trying to say anything to make their investment seem like a good idea.

This is the exact kind of shit you hear at the peak of a bubble.

Can we please stop listening to the masturbatory fantasies of psychopaths?

I hope he has an AI "super cycle" to ride to work when his venture capital fund goes bankrupt.

[–] simsalabim@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

that AI is going to have a huge, global impact in the coming years.

Of course it will, it'll have a huge impact on global warming.

Sure, buddy. I'll buy that for a dollar. Just one dollar though!

[–] hotdogcharmer@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Oh I wonder if this man's entire livelihood and power fantasy is tied to the continuation of this very obvious dog and pony show?

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 days ago

Isn't "New paradigm!" the last stage of the bubble right before it pops?

Sounds like someone who made a ton of money with those stupid monkey NFTs after getting his initial start-up capital from the Beanie Babies hype.

Venture capitalist says something...

I mean sure? You think it's sustainable to blow a crazy pile of money for 20 years? I don't think so. And investors tend to want their money back eventually. And usually they're not 20-years patient with that, if it's a trillions dollar hype. I'd say it either delivers in the next 5-10 years or they'll run out of that kind of money.
