There are two lenses here: The tech innovation, itself, and the corresponding investment opportunities.</h4><div><hr></div><h1>NVDA stock is up 5X &#128640;</h1><p>&#128073; Since I published my <strong><a href="https://www.atlsherpa.com/p/the-world-is-having-a-copernicus">"Copernicus Moment" podcast </a></strong>in May 2023, NVDA stock has gone up by 5X. Predictably, a significant number of folks are <em>just now</em> coming to grips with the fact that the AI revolution is both real and transformative. This is <em>very good news</em> for those who get it and invest in the companies.</p><p>&#128073; In spite of the huge move in AI adjacent stocks, I believe that we are still in the early stages of this move. That said, it is going to be a bumpy ride. Entire companies will cease to exist (Kodak, Sears, etc.) while new ones will emerge as winners in the Age of AI (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.).</p><p>&#128073; Many of tomorrow&#8217;s most successful companies do not even exist yet. The same is true for jobs. Every institution, both public and private, will be profoundly transformed. We will see major breakthroughs in education, medicine and science.</p><div class="pullquote"><p>Those who embrace AI and learn how to harness its power will thrive. Those who do not will struggle.

I was walking down the Eastside Trail and decided to take a spin through the Irwin Street Market. As I walked in, a saw what looked like a pop-up pizza stand. Behind the chest-high wall was an interesting look cat, flipping pizza dough. I took out my phone and started recording. <strong>Here&#8217;s what I saw and heard as I engaged Atlanta&#8217;s father of the Grandma Pie&#8230;</strong></p><div id="youtube2-8INxI6CXi9Y" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;8INxI6CXi9Y&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/8INxI6CXi9Y?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Later that year, I embarked on a project called, Urban Explorers TV. <strong>The idea was to interview &#8220;urban visionaries&#8221; about their businesses and their work &#8212; their visions.</strong> It was a fun and interesting project. Sadly, I got busy with my tours and really did not have the resources to do the project justice. I learned that video production is time-intensive. It can also be expensive, if one wants to do it right.</p><p>In any event, I ended up producing six &#8220;episodes&#8221; of UXATL-TV, all of which appear below. <strong>It is always interesting (enlightening, actually) to go back and watch videos like this 8+ years later, especially in a city where things are changing so fast and dramatically.</strong> I hope you enjoy watching them.</p><p><em>PS: My favorite is the one about the Brown Headed Nuthatch. Laura and her team did a magnificent job on that one.</em></p><h2>Conversation Starters*</h2><ul><li><p>Have you had the Grandma Pie?

Up to that point, the consensus &#8220;world view&#8221; was that the Earth was stationary and at the center of the universe. </p><p>Copernicus&#8217;s theories were rejected by scholars of his time, and they incensed the Catholic Church. <strong>His writings were banned from the church after his death and were not allowed to be read for three centuries.</strong> Copernicus spent his final years defending his work and died on May 24, 1543, at the age of 70.</p><p>The publication of Copernicus's <a href="https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/OrbitsHistory">heliocentric model</a> in his book <em>De Revolutionibus orbium coelestium</em> (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) was a major event in the history of science, triggering the <a

One can also occur when you learn that something you thought to be true turns out to be false, or vice versa. Copernicus Moments can be personal or societal, in nature. They can, simultaneously, vindicate unpopular views and eradicate erroneous ones.

Many of the smartest people in the world are saying that this is an inflection point for civilization, as we know it. They are also saying that this technology is advancing <em>much </em>faster than most people realize. The scale of change, and the rate at which it is occurring, increase the probability of getting blindsided. Artificial intelligence will impact every business in every industry. It will also impact every public and private institution in the world. Every man, woman, and child will be affected.

In 2023, we learned that a machine taught itself how to speak to humans like a peer &#8212; which is to say with creativity, truth, error,  and lies. The technology known as a chatbot is only one of the recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence; machines that can teach themselves superhuman skills. CEO <a href="https://blog.google/authors/sundar-pichai/">Sundar Pichai</a> told us AI will be as good or as evil as human nature allows. The revolution, he says, is coming faster than you know. &#8212; <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/team/scott-pelley/">Scott Pelley, 60 Minutes</a> (April 2023)</p><div id="youtube2-880TBXMuzmk" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;880TBXMuzmk&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/880TBXMuzmk?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p><em><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/team/scott-pelley/">Scott Pelley:</a></em> Do you think Society is prepared for what's coming?</p><p><em><a href="https://blog.google/authors/sundar-pichai/">Sundar Pichai:</a> </em>You know, there are two ways I think about it. On one hand, I would say no (society is not prepared) because there seems to be a mismatch between the pace at which we can think and adapt as societal institutions and the pace at which technology is evolving. On the other hand, I have seen more people worried about AI earlier in its life cycle than with previous technologies, so (in that sense) I feel optimistic. The number of people who have started worrying about the implications is significant, hence the conversations are starting to become serious as well. </p><div><hr></div><h2>Technology that we interact with at the human scale&#8230;</h2><div class="native-audio-embed" data-component-name="AudioPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;label&quot;:null,&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;ffbc1c09-42fe-4c9d-9b4f-9b769f45b07e&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:922.88,&quot;downloadable&quot;:false,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><em><a href="https://values.tulane.edu/content/walter-isaacson-biography">Walter Isaacson:</a></em> You know, industrial, scientific and technological revolutions sometimes sneak up on us.

I sat with the person who had shown me the demo, a brilliant programmer named <a href="https://www.edge.org/memberbio/charles_simonyi">Charles Simonyi,</a> and we immediately started brainstorming about all the things we could do with such a user-friendly approach to computing. Charles eventually joined <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/about">Microsoft</a>, Windows became the backbone of Microsoft, and the thinking we did after that demo helped set the company&#8217;s agenda for the next 15 years.</p><p>The second big surprise came just last year. I&#8217;d been meeting with the team from <a href="https://openai.com/about">OpenAI</a> since 2016 and was impressed by their steady progress. In mid-2022, I was so excited about their work that I gave them a challenge: train an artificial intelligence to pass an Advanced Placement biology exam. Make it capable of answering questions that it hasn&#8217;t been specifically trained for. (I picked AP Bio because the test is more than a simple regurgitation of scientific facts &#8212; it asks you to think critically about biology.)

CBS Saturday Morning's Brook Silva-Braga interviewed him at the Vector Institute in Toronto on March 1, 2023.</p><div id="youtube2-qpoRO378qRY" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;qpoRO378qRY&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/qpoRO378qRY?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><div><hr></div><h2>Bonus Video</h2><p>Ahead of this year&#8217;s Nvidia GTC developer conference, CNBC sat down with founder and CEO Jensen Huang to talk about ChatGPT, gaming, the omniverse, and what&#8217;s next. In this full interview, Huang takes us on the journey of Nvidia, from its early days in a condo to the dominant player in GPUs, gaming, and now A, which is a major focus of GTC this year. Huang also talks about how he handled China export controls, and geopolitical tensions swirling around Taiwan where most of its chips are made. &#8212; CNBC, March 2023</p><div id="youtube2-_-wjA4XlBl4" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;_-wjA4XlBl4&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/_-wjA4XlBl4?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><div><hr></div><h2>Explore More</h2><div class="native-audio-embed" data-component-name="AudioPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;label&quot;:null,&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;64227515-8fdc-4247-a7bc-038e592af190&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:969.40405,&quot;downloadable&quot;:false,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><h4>AI the Disruptor</h4><ul><li><p><a href="https://ark-invest.com/white-papers/innovation-why-now-white-paper/">Disruptive Innovation: Why Now?</a> &#8212; ARK Invest, May 2019</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.gatesnotes.com/The-Age-of-AI-Has-Begun">The Age of AI has begun</a> &#8212; Gates Notes, March 2023</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/28/how-ai-could-change-the-future-of-work.html">How A.I. could change the future of work</a> &#8212; CNBC, April 2023</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/02/chegg-could-be-in-big-trouble-as-chatgpt-and-ai-threaten-growth-jefferies-says.html">Chegg could be in big trouble as ChatGPT and A.I. threaten growth, Jefferies says</a> &#8212; CNBC, May 2023</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/01/technology/ai-google-chatbot-engineer-quits-hinton.html">&#8216;The Godfather of A.I.&#8217; Leaves Google and Warns of Danger Ahead</a> &#8212; New York Times, May 2023</p></li></ul><h4>AI the Enabler</h4><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/22/bill-gates-ai-chatbots-will-teach-kids-how-to-read-within-18-months.html">Bill Gates says A.I. chatbots will teach kids to read within 18 months: You&#8217;ll be &#8216;stunned by how it helps&#8217;</a> &#8212; CNBC, April 2023</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/20/artificial-intelligence-is-booming-but-will-it-impact-your-career-and-job.html">Artificial Intelligence is booming &#8211; but how will it impact your career?</a> &#8212; CNBC, February 2023</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/22/how-ai-powered-robots-are-changing-retail.html">How A.I.-powered robots are changing retail</a> &#8212; CNBC, April 2023</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/19/from-generative-ai-to-digital-twins-how-tech-will-transform-factories.html">From making parts with A.I. to digitally cloning cars: What factories will look like in the future</a> &#8212; CNBC, April 2023</p></li></ul><h4>AI the Opportunity</h4><ul><li><p><a href="https://ark-invest.com/white-papers/artificial-intelligence-white-paper/">Deep Learning: An Artificial Intelligence Revolution</a> &#8212; ARK Invest, June 2017</p></li><li><p><a href="https://ark-invest.com/articles/analyst-research/productivity-gains-could-propel-the-ai-software-market-to-14-trillion-by-2030/">Productivity Gains Could Propel The AI Software Market To $14 Trillion By 2030</a> &#8212; ARK Invest, July 2022</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/25/microsoft-msft-q3-earnings-report-2023.html">Microsoft reports earnings beat, says A.I. will drive revenue growth</a> &#8212; CNBC, April 2023</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/21/want-to-invest-in-the-ai-boom-tech-fund-manager-names-4-stocks-to-own.html">Want to invest in the A.I. boom?

The original title was, &#8220;Change makes fools of us all,&#8221; but it was changed to, &#8220;Can We Slow This All Down, Please?&#8221; Both titles appear in the body of the article and will make more sense after you read it.</p><p>This is one of the best articles I have read in recent memory. If you&#8217;re not a subscriber, you might sign up for a trial subscription, which would be well worth your time.</p><p>In any event, I have included some thoughts below, but would love to hear what you have to say. Feel free to join the conversation in the comments section at the bottom of this post. Have a great Sunday. </p><h3>My thoughts&#8230;</h3><p>"Us all" means each and every one of us. Especially those of us who are unaware of or in denial of disruptive technologies and trends that are rendering current technologies and ways of doing things obsolete. It also includes those of us who are married to old paradigms (i.e., the way things used to be).</p><p>If the pandemic (and its <a href="https://www.atlsherpa.com/p/welcome-to-the-twilight-zone#details">subsequent, lingering effects</a> on the economy and financial markets) have taught us anything, it is that even the smartest among us are constantly being blindsided. When our corporate and political leaders say things like, "we were caught off guard" or "we didn't see that coming" you know that there is more (way more) out there that we don't know. As in, we don't know what we don't know.</p><p>This is all part of what I call, the "Age of Dissonance." Too much information, too much misinformation. The current rate and magnitude of change are greater than most humans can process. I think this is what Mr. Klein is referring to.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.atlsherpa.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Exploring Atlanta by ATLsherpa is a reader-supported publication.
