🗓️ Published: 2025-08-31T14:00:00.000Z

📄 Summary: George Arison, CEO of Grindr, has expressed concern over a growing venture capital "bubble" forming in the AI sector, particularly on the application side. While Grindr positions itself as an "AI-first company" with innovative products like gAI ("gay-I"), Arison warns that excessive funding driven by herd mentality could lead to the destruction of promising companies, drawing parallels with SoftBank’s late-2010s investment mistakes. He emphasized that although some AI enterprises may fail, the overall tech remains promising, with rapid innovation pushing the industry forward. Arison also noted that incumbent AI players may discourage investment to maintain their competitive edge, yet he remains optimistic about the future of AI development and its transformative potential.
