    #753: The Economy Is AI Now with Jordi Visser

    Marty sits down with Jordi Visser to discuss why AI’s parabolic growth reflects real exponential demand rather than a bubble, how physical infrastructure bottlenecks are the only real brake on progress, and what the rise of agentic computing means for the death of the 60/40 portfolio, corporate hierarchies, and the fusion of Bitcoin with tokenized finance.
