In a recent appearance on CNBC, when billionaire Paul Tudor Jones was asked which stocks he was buying, the hedge fund manager shared what he saw as similarities between today’s trading era and the 1970s and 1980s, when the personal computing revolution was starting. He linked ChatGPT to Apple and Claude to Microsoft:
“So, again, I’m a macro trader, so I just buy baskets. And what I would simply say is, it’s a crazy, crazy time. If I had to pick, you know I love always to find, historical precedents. You can kind of look at the productivity miracle around the introduction of the PC, 81′, 82′. Really, 81′, 77′, see I would kind of say 1977 when Apple dropped theres, it was kind of like ChatGPT but it wasn’t until Microsoft brought their PC in 81 when you got widespread commercial adoption. So ChatGPT in 22, I kind of think Claude Code January of this year would be equivalent of when Microsoft came out in 81.”
