There is a ton of investment now as they offer large salaries to recruit the best talent, build more data centers, buy up tons of chips/memory, and so on. But who knows how long that's going to last.

I suspect AI will become another productivity tool to assist workers. But it's not likely to achieve the outrageous outcomes that it's promoters are promising.

Thiel probably has data on all of us and tracks what we're posting online.

Some info on Mercor. Thiel awarded them fellowships to grow their startup. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercor
