Agent harness layer equals model value; Cursor API creates moat; token demand going vertical

Application/orchestration layer (Cursor harness) now valued equally to base models per Sam Altman. Agentic workflows (chain-of-thought + tool use + skill trees) drive exponential token cons…

AI Bubble / Capex Debatemixedscore 7/10ejaaz

No bubble yet: zero leverage, reasonable PEs (Meta 16x vs dot-com 73-800x), FCF funding CapEx

Bubble requires leverage and extreme valuations. Mega-caps have net cash, PEs at 16-25x (vs 73-800x in 2000), and fund $700B CapEx from operating cash flow not debt. Risk emerges only when…
