Karp Blows Up on CNBC Calling AI Irresponsibly Oversold’… ISM Cracks & JOLTS Beats | THS LIVE [wyEt0F8s2Is]
Alex Karp just went full Karp on live CNBC this morning and called the entire AI industry 'completely, irresponsibly oversold' — telling enterprises the quiet part out loud: companies think they'll 'chillax and waste my time with tokens' while AI vendors walk away with their data and their alpha. That's not a tech critique, that's a warning shot from the CEO of the company selling AI to the Pentagon. Meanwhile the hard data is sending mixed signals: ISM Manufacturing missed (53.3 vs. 53.9 expected, down from 55.7) with Prices Paid cratering to 73.0 — but JOLTS actually beat, holding at 7.6M job openings against a 7.3M consensus, the highest level in two years. So which is it — is the economy cooling or is it still absorbing shocks? Add in a market that's pricing in real fear (VIX up over 2%, 10-year spiking to 4.487%, Iran tensions weighing on sentiment) and you've got a setup where the soft data says caution, the hard data says resilience, and the loudest voice in AI just told you not to trust the hype either way. *This episode is proudly brought to you by Fridays.* Because real wealth starts with your health.
