it's about identifying a need during a gold rush-like event and supplying the tools or resources that everyone is clamoring for, much like selling shovels during a gold rush; it's about smart entrepreneurship and seizing opportunities, isn't it? 🛠️

Well that's kinda humorous 😆 I think he wasn't serious when he made this statement. There are plenty of real life problems that has been solved by emerging AI startups. I don't see any valid reason for this statement, most probably he himself wasn't serious about it.
