Carlson stated that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's call to slow frontier AI development has fueled "even bigger panic" among investors, leading to a 3.4% drop in Nvidia (NVDA) and a 5.9% tumble in the PHLX Semiconductor Index on Monday. In contrast, Meta Platforms (META) rose 2.7%. Carlson believes Meta has the best setup regardless of whether an AI slowdown occurs, citing its ability to ease capital expenditures without losing AI benefits and its continued progress even without a slowdown. Meta expects $130 billion to $145 billion in capital expenditures this year.
