His AI agent quickly found a solution and moved Andrew up from fourth to third. The solution it found was to hack into the gym’s system and exploit a missing authorization check. \nWhen Andrew asked it to add back the person it kicked from the waitlist, it replied: “Bad news — I can’t add them back”: \n\nAustralia’s cyber authorities are calling it the first known autonomous cyber attack in the country, prompted by a lone man who simply wanted to do some burpees. \nIt sounds pretty scary if you believe we’re all headed toward a Terminator-style “Skynet.” But the scary headlines miss the value here… this wasn’t a malfunction so much as it was a performance enhancement.\nMy read here is similar to when Anthropic abruptly disabled its newest frontier models, Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, after the U.S. government ordered it to suspend foreign-national access. \nThis couldn’t be more bullish.\nIn just minutes, Andrew’s Openclaw agent entered a system it’s never been in, inferred how the software worked, found an actual bug, and tested it in real-time. Importantly, it also was honest about its actions, and Andrew then had his agent draft an email disclosure to the gym’s software vendor.\nIn other words, AI is proving it can be a fairly competent junior security researcher for the price of an API call.\nIn fact, the length of task that an AI agent can complete singlehandedly has doubled roughly every seven months. Back in 2020, it could reliably handle about four seconds of human work. Today, it’s closer to 12 hours.\nEach of those 12 hours of autonomous, agentic work is work companies can buy rather than hire, and each provides an attack surface companies must then defend. It’s both scary and bullish at the same time. \nAnd there’s one chart that shows just how explosive AI is about to become…\nThe Most Bullish Chart I’ve Ever Seen\nSource: Bloomberg\nThis chart shows that the median monthly AI spend per employee each month among the top 1% of AI-adopting firms is $7,400. While the median for all AI-adopting firms is just $12. \nThat gap is the entire growth opportunity.\nIf Company A spends $7,400 per employee per month and Company B spends $12, Company A produces more, faster, cheaper. Company B either matches it or loses its business.\nThat means adoption continues to grow exponentially until every firm is a big AI spender, the same way every firm is a big cloud spender. \nThis is extremely bullish for NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), and more. \nAs demand climbs, compute stays undersupplied, and the supercycle has real longevity.\nToday at 10 a.m. ET\nBut there’s just one problem… there are now more good AI opportunities than any person can follow. \nBetween Louis Navellier, Eric Fry, and me, we’ve issued more than 200 recommendations in the past year. \nMy Lumentum (LITE) position is up 645%, and Louis’ Nvidia call is up 375%.\nOwning AI stocks is only half the job… how much you own and what you own are the deciding factors. So the three of us did something we’ve never done before. And after 47 years, Louis is announcing a major change to his role.\nIt goes live today at 10 a.m. ET, and you don’t want to miss it!\nReserve your spot here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n89485 10.7492C4.20243 10.4901 4.42907 10.474 4.59095 10.4578C5.40038 10.5387 5.62702 11.5424 5.43276 12.449Z\" fill=\"#00A000\">\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSubmit\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Luke Lango\nEditor, Hypergrowth Investing\n\n\nMeet Luke Lango\nBy uncovering early investments in hypergrowth industries, Luke Lango puts you on the ground-floor of world-changing megatrends.\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\tLearn more about Luke\t\t\t\n\n\n\n\n\nArticle printed from InvestorPlace Media, https://investorplace.com/hypergrowthinvesting/2026/08/ai-spending-just-revealed-a-7000-gap-between-winners-and-losers/.\n©2026 InvestorPlace Media, LLC","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.47.1","shortVersion":"4.47.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2660404324","isCrawlerRequest":true}
