BUSINESS REFLECTION: Crossed Wires: Venture capital — where is all the money going?

The article explores the current state and future direction of venture capital (VC) investment, highlighting a shift away from artificial intelligence (AI) toward physical technologies. While AI has historically dominated VC funding—accounting for 75% of investments—with significant portions going to companies like Anthropic and OpenAI—the focus is shifting to tangible, physical innovations. This transition is attributed to AI becoming a commoditized tool, less novel compared to earlier software revolutions. The piece suggests that defense technology is gaining traction among investors, indicating a broader trend toward physical-world applications. The author references historical insights from Marc Andreessen's 2011 prediction about software's transformative impact and notes that AI, while still influential, is now seen as a foundational layer rather than the main driver of innovation.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced analysis of VC investment trends without overtly favoring either technological optimism or pessimism. It acknowledges the dominance of AI in recent years but highlights a clear shift toward physical technologies, suggesting a natural evolution rather than a partisan立场
