🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: Search results show multiple recent media appearances and portfolio updates in 2025 (e.g., CNBC interviews Aug-Oct 2025 and Q2 2025 portfolio updates) and holdings activity in 2025. The investor has investments mentioned in 2025 such as ongoing Altimeter positions; the most recent known investment activity is within the last 6 months (2025), for example coverage mentioning portfolio activity and interviews referencing holdings. Therefore classify as very-active.
