We also discuss why he thinks the AI backlash is tied to inequality, Robinhood’s push to let everyday investors buy into private companies, and the coming AI IPOs. I ask about the controversy over tokenized stocks, the rise of prediction markets, and why he thinks the most powerful AI tools should be available to everyone.
