@CathieDWood on stage yesterday at The Convergence Summit, in conversation with
@ellazhang516:
We're in The Great Acceleration — 5 innovation platforms converging at the same time:
1. AI (the catalyst)
2. Energy storage
3. Multi-omics sequencing
4. Public blockchains
5. Robotics
Each platform follows an exponential S-curve.
@ARKInvest's Convergence Network Strength has jumped from 20% to 35%, with a bigger leap coming 2025-2035.
Examples of what it looks like:
→ Space data centers = AI + robotics + energy → 20-25% cheaper than terrestrial ones
→ Genomics = AI + multi-omics → foundational models trained on billions of DNA datapoints, "LLMs for biology"
→ Payments = blockchain + AI → stablecoins enabling AI agents to transact and coordinate resources globally
Tech capex is scaling like it's 1998, but mega-cap P/E ratios remain a fraction of dot-com peaks.
The market is pricing in linear growth, while the infrastructure being built is exponential.
It's still an underpriced acceleration.
