The AI Gold Rush of 2024: A Tale of Smoke, Mirrors, and Trillion-Dollar Dreams

As I sit here reflecting on my 25-year journey in tech, I can't help but see history rhyming once again. We're witnessing perhaps the greatest gold rush of our time – the AI revolution. But is it really a revolution, or are we watching a trillion-dollar game of smoke and mirrors?

Business

Don’t try to be a unicorn. Be a horse. Horses win races.

History has a poetic way of repeating itself, yet we seem to dance to the same tune every time. I've witnessed this dance firsthand – the intoxicating rhythm of bubbles, where the smartest players in the game keep passing their torch until the music stops. It's the symphony of the greater fool theory, playing on repeat through the decades.

It’s Time to Have a Serious Conversation About Mental Health

Have you ever felt your soul crushing beneath the weight of your own thoughts?

Chahal Foundation Turns Ten

I founded the Chahal Foundation when I was twenty-nine, because I wanted to make a difference, but I was naive enough to think it was easy since I didn’t know the first thing how. All I knew was that I had to act and do something. Somewhere along the way, we figured it out. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the foundation. What an amazing journey, full of unforgettable relationships, emotions, and experiences. The foundation has generally remained private and has declined all media interviews and, as a principal, didn’t share its public activities in order for us to focus on the goals rather than the noise. As the old adage goes, when it comes to charity, it’s best to leave the camera at home. For the first time in many years, though, the foundation updated its website to share some of the various projects completed over the last decade, as well as to engage with other like-minded individuals who want to collaborate with us. We’ve discovered that capitalizing on the network effects of a common cause is always the best option.
