Software companies are experiencing a valuation reset as investors question the fundamental value of code when AI can commoditize engineering work. The manager sees opportunities in incumbent companies that can successfully leverage AI to amplify their business models. Ecommerce platforms like Sea Ltd are protected by physical logistics infrastructure and network effects that AI cannot easily replicate. The manager argues that TikTok Shop's growth is decelerating based on alternative data, and that Shopee's margin compression is discretionary investment to strengthen competitive positioning. The core value remains in the network and distribution capabilities. Gaming platforms benefit from network effects where millions of players create instant matchmaking and attract user-generated content creators. As games become easier to make with AI, profit pools will shift toward distribution and monetization platforms rather than game creation itself. The bottleneck remains in attracting users and monetizing games, not creating them. | SE EDU |
