I spent yesterday at Eric Newcomer’s Cerebral Valley conference in San Francisco, which is now in its third year.

This year was no exception; however, I found the most interesting part of the day to be when the results of an anonymous audience survey were shared onstage. The more than 300 attendees who participated in the survey primarily consisted of AI company founders, followed by investors, other industry professionals (including product leaders and engineers), and members of the media. Here are the results of the survey in order of how they were shared onstage: 1. What will be OpenAI’s annualized revenue be at the end of 2026? Median answer: $30 billion. 2. What will Nvidia be …
