Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy · Tuesday, September 1, 2026
Sarah Guo supports the "great person" theory of history, stating that high-agency individuals with the right support can significantly influence AI outcomes. She believes entrepreneurs can affect the direction of AI development, even if she doesn't frame it as a 'war'.
“I believe in like the great man and great woman theories of history. If you have very high agency people in all these places and they have the correct risk capital or support in the network or environment, yeah, you change outcomes.”
“I definitely think that individual people and entrepreneurs can affect the outcome. I don't necessarily think of it as a war.”
