This week, we published our longform deep-dive on Amazon AI, robotics, and automation. It’s based on countless interviews, extensive firsthand research, and in-person site visits. And it’s one of the more mind-blowing stories I’ve ever worked on.
Amazon’s AI and robotics strategy is quietly reshaping the economics of retail. @EricMarkowitz bigthink.com/business/a-deep… "Years of infrastructure buildout, automation, and logistics optimization are beginning to bear fruit, and we expect operating margins to expand meaningfully over the next 2–3 years."

My business partner @DanCrowleyNVC will be going across China for a research trip this summer, meeting with local autonomous EV makers and robotics companies. If anyone is local and would like to meet with him — please DM. Thanks!

The Gold Mine Metaphor: Tesla $TSLA In my mind, owning shares of Tesla is like owning shares in a gold mine—it’s about long-term value, not short-term earnings. It’s a working capital project. The heavy capex is spent, and now it’s time to reap the rewards. We’ve committed both capital and duration, and I believe we’re on the verge of unlocking that value. Like a gold mine, I think Tesla is about to tap into its two richest veins: Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Optimus. Zoom out. Think about the next 2-3 years.

Why I’m Optimistic About the Market Markets test conviction. Always have. Always will. Right now? Pessimism is everywhere—inflation, rates, war, tariffs. A hundred reasons to sell. I don’t buy it. After 40 years in this game, one truth holds: I believe progress wins, fear fades, and betting against innovation is a losing strategy. This time is no different. Three forces, in my view, are driving the next bull market: AI, transportation, and the accelerating pace of technological breakthroughs. Let’s break it down. 1. AI Is Just Getting Started AI isn’t a fad—it’s the most transformative shift since the internet. It’s already reshaping the P&L, driving profit expansion. Here’s what people miss: I think AI is making everything more efficient—slashing costs, automating tasks, and unlocking new revenue streams. It’s happening now. Software. Healthcare. Logistics. The early adopters are pulling away. The laggards will be left behind. The market doesn’t get it yet. I believe it will. 2. Expand Your Lens Markets obsess over the short term. We think in 2-3 year cycles. That’s our advantage—time arbitrage. What’s ahead? A favorable interest rate curve. A reset after reckless fiscal spending. Catalysts stacking up. I believe this is where patient investors win. 3. Innovation Compounds Technology doesn’t move in straight lines—it stacks, it compounds. AI is fueling breakthroughs in robotics, energy storage, materials science, and healthcare. These forces reinforce each other. Take batteries—costs are falling, efficiency is rising. This isn’t just good for EVs; it changes the economics of energy itself. Same with AI-driven drug discovery—faster trials, cheaper medicine, more lives saved. We’re in a golden age of innovation. I don’t think the market fully appreciates this yet. The Market Will Turn—It Always Does Fear never lasts. Every bull market begins in doubt, then reality takes over. Progress doesn’t stop. Technology doesn’t stop. I believe the companies leading these shifts will be worth multiples of what they are today. The real question isn’t whether the market will recover—it’s whether you have the patience to hold while it does. I’m optimistic. Not because it’s easy, but because I believe in where we’re headed. The market will turn. It always does. And when it does? Those who stayed the course will win—big.

Today in London, I toured the 336-year-old Lloyd’s of London, the world’s oldest insurance marketplace. It was founded in in 1689 in a coffee shop. Still very much humming today. Very cool experience - a few takeaways below

Two thoughts today: 1. Long-term investing is about strong hands vs. weak hands. Develop conviction. Have patience. Don't listen to the noise. 2. In my opinion: Institutions have historically been underweight Tesla. Subjective biases and noise may hold them back, but this can create opportunities for active investors. The market rewards those who can separate signal from noise. In my experience, the biggest opportunities emerge where consensus diverges. $TSLA

Energy storage growth, inflection in gross margin, EPS - all great. But more importantly.. FCF of $2.7 bn. while funding sufficiently high levels of CAPEX de-risks thesis further. Ability to invest in autonomy (and more) while materially increasing cash balance impressive. Incredibly compelling. $TSLA

.@NightviewCap compares Tesla's and Waymo's approach to autonomy. Tesla’s Approach: Vision-Based, Scalable, and Data-Driven • Vision-based system: Relies on cameras and AI, eliminating costly sensors like lidar and radar. • Cost-efficient hardware: Hardware costs are about $1,500 per vehicle, significantly reducing expenses compared to sensor-heavy systems. • Real-time data collection: Tesla’s fleet of over 5 million vehicles gathers driving data continuously, refining its AI models. • In-house development: Tesla develops Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology internally for use in cars it manufactures, after initially partnering with Mobileye. • Neural processing advancements: Tesla’s in-house designed inference computer and Dojo chips illustrate Tesla’s focus on AI processing for autonomy. • Scalability: Tesla’s low-cost, vision-first model enables rapid deployment in new markets. • Challenges: Missed timelines and struggles with edge cases, such as complex weather and road conditions, have raised concerns. Waymo’s Approach: Sensor-Rich, Methodical, and Safety-First • Comprehensive sensor suite: Uses lidar, radar, and cameras to create detailed 3D maps of the environment. • High hardware costs: A fully equipped Waymo vehicle costs about $120,000 due to reliance on expensive sensors. • Controlled deployment: Focuses on geofenced areas, such as Phoenix and San Francisco, to ensure safety and reliability. • Safety-first methodology: Over 20 million autonomous miles driven, with a strong emphasis on precision and safety in urban areas. • Gradual expansion: Expanding slowly into new urban markets to build trust and ensure regulatory compliance. • Alphabet’s AI support: Waymo benefits from Alphabet’s advanced AI capabilities, including the full suite of GCP AI and Google’s custom training chips – TPUs, as well as Google’s recently rejiggered AI software development teams. • Challenges: High costs and the need for extensive mapping slow down scaling, limiting rapid expansion compared to Tesla.

I wrote an essay about a new idea permeating the world: survival has become more important than growth. It may be counterintuitive, and hard to quantify, but we're starting to see signals of this shift -- and I think that's a very good thing. bigthink.com/the-long-game/m… @bigthink

"Seeing Optimus up close was not just impressive, it was transformative. It felt natural, even intuitive, to be around these humanoid robots, and it became clear to me that we are no longer talking about some distant, sci-fi dream."
