Analyst Richard Windsor warns of an AI bubble, citing overvaluations in AI sector investments by Nvidia, Amazon, and Microsoft. He points to Nvidia-backed Cohere's $5 billion valuation, Microsoft's $650 million deal with Inflection AI, and Amazon's $2.75 billion investment in Anthropic as signs of market frenzy without regard for fundamentals. Despite the AI hype benefiting Nvidia, Windsor advises caution, predicting a market correction.

Gary Black, a Tesla Inc. investor, stated that Tesla's valuation will only be significantly impacted by its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software once it achieves fully autonomous driving capabilities. Despite Wall Street recognizing Tesla's progress with FSD, it won't adjust Tesla's valuation until the software becomes fully autonomous and Tesla assumes full liability for any incidents. Currently, Tesla attributes all incidents involving FSD to the driver. Tesla plans to roll out significant improvements to FSD, aiming for it to 'shine bright' by late April or May. Black also suggests Tesla should add a segment on its AI endeavors in its earnings reports to highlight its FSD project.
