Were we wildly wrong, or surprisingly on the money?

As 2025 wraps, Chris and Yaniv revisit the bold predictions they made at the start of the year. They reflect on their calls about AI, robotics, VC markets, crypto, and geopolitics. While some were accurate, some were also hilariously off. Together, they unpack what 2025 really looked like for startups, venture capital, and the global tech landscape.

In this episode, you will:

  • Learn why both hosts believe their AGI predictions were misses and what “AGI” even means anymore.
  • Understand how Google re-emerged as a serious AI contender, from Gemini to Cloud to Chrome.
  • Discover how VC funding split into a two-speed market, with AI startups booming while everyone else grinds.
  • See why Bitcoin’s stability above $100K signals its cemented role as a store of value.
  • Reflect on how tech dominance, global competition, and Trump-era chaos shaped the broader economy.
