Something Big Is Happening
Carlson discusses the brutal sell-off in his portfolio driven by fears that artificial intelligence will disrupt software and knowledge-based service companies like Intuit, Salesforce, Adobe, S&P Global, and Moody's. He highlights how rapidly AI is improving, referencing an influential post by Matt Schumer detailing self-improving models and intelligence explosions. While software and data monopolies are being aggressively liquidated, companies with zero AI threat—such as Costco and Texas Roadhouse—are thriving near all-time highs. He also notes Bill Ackman's recent large allocation into Meta, a company Carlson had previously identified as attractive.

Carlson discusses his massive ongoing investments in Meta Platforms amidst a market dip driven by what he considers an absurd New York Times article about a two-month delay in an AI model named avocado. Despite Wall Street's pessimism regarding CapEx spending and AI competition, Carlson points out that Meta is growing rapidly, highly profitable compared to peers like Tesla, and trading at a cheap valuation. He continues to aggressively buy the dip, making Meta a top holding in his portfolio. He believes the market's short-term fixation ignores Meta's robust long-term business fundamentals.
