models, and then consider the wisdom of Torsten Slok, the widely read
chief economist for Apollo Global Management, who is known for shaking
the financial community with his brief charticles in his “Daily Spark.”
He recently posted an eye-popping chart, based off his calculations that

today is that the top 10 companies in the S&P 500 today are more

the “dotcom crash,” leading to a nasty recession. Slok didn’t address the bot question, but it lends further seriousness to the debate: what if the current AI boom is built on the backs of bots?
