[@barbarosozturk]

Probably one of the smartest actors out there - immediately confirmed by this interview.

[@lotli83]

Him & Ryan Reynolds

[@DionSidney]

As intelligent as this man is, it's hard to imagine he was Michael Kelso for many years!

[@JET7C0]

I've heard a lot of people say that when I've told him he's investing in the startup I work for, they look into it and prob find vids like this. I was surprised myself, but in a meeting, our guy that meets with "VCs" (venture capitalists - basically people who invest in companies to help them grow), casually added into his update like, "Oh yeah, and I'm meeting with Ashton Kutcher next week to talk investing" lol.

[@Zeggskoll]

Wow, I didn’t know Ashton Kutcher was so savvy.

[@lasmujeresnotienenpollAs]

I'm sure he isn't and this is an AI deep fake about AI

[@legendhasit2568]

He’s probably quite knowledgeable on the subject but VCs typically get most insights from endless companies of desperate founders presenting insights to them. Not that it matters much

[@harison7778]

I mean he's been doing this for over 10 years lol why so shocked 😅

[@youvegotmail9385]

He's no engineer or programmer. He's had money to deploy. When you have that kind of money and stardom, everyone will drop their knowledge for you or you can pay for their time to gain that knowledge.

[@legalfictionnaturalfact3969]

He also may be wearing an earpiece

[@particles343]

I love tech-bro's. This dude has been low key helping to bring future tech here today.

[@youvegotmail9385]

Bro played Steve Jobs and now he wants to be steve jobs 🤦‍♂

[@Pinkie007]

Why so hateful

[@samueldelaespriella6335]

Example: You can make a phone call, for service but if you use the application or you use the interactive response prompts there is *free data in acquiring the expected service.

[@adityapatnaik7078]

Joker masquerading as an investor ! Its amazing to see jokers like him who pretend to be smart

[@Randyy111]

No dude him & his wife are actually really smart sexy people.

[@samueldelaespriella6335]

Quality is the determinant, for value.

[@particles343]

That's subjective mr AI chat bot.

[@lasmujeresnotienenpollAs]

@@particles343 right? They need to gtfoh with this worship of the facade... stop asking celebrity figures for commentary on topics outside of their realm

[@rachaeljacksonputin662]

Well u didn't cope with their yellow running commentary.. yes i am everything u are not. Most excellent.

[@emmett5205]

Dammit Jackie...

[@manonamission2000]

Jackie is in the van counting the money

[@HostileRespite]

Mr. Kutcher gets it. Democratizing and accelerating ahead of malevolent actors is the only way forward now.

[@EduardoSanchez-jf3bh]

What he said its very wise

[@dixztube]

Hyde is so fine lol

[@getreadytotube]

Burn!!! 😁🔥

[@balrajbigbad]

Kelso needs to put his helmet back on.

[@samueldelaespriella6335]

Application is the free, in data-acquisition.

[@davidlee50]

"Who will have the Best Cyberdeck?".

[@arthurgol500]

Bullish for A.I and Blockchains

[@bb8luke221]

Steve Jobs is back

[@pelangos]

3 solid investments that are guaranteed to go up, nice easy choices.

[@Kerajaykainamu]

Regulations already so we need to keep the animals at bay

[@miraya999]

This bad actor kutcher is a charlatan

[@zintuplet]

Ashton Kutcher??? Wow!!! Take my money!!!! Is this a joke?

[@nyakarundi]

as always I wonder the percentage of minorities will benefits from this fund.

[@Don-ix2ok]

Dude needs some interview training

[@Secret_Dumpster_Juice]

BURN!!!!!

[@miraya999]

Wannabe

[@lasmujeresnotienenpollAs]

How do we know this isn't a deep fake of Ashton Kutcher??? Lol next tom cruise is going to tell me to start mining crypto

[@augusto256]

You're right 😰

[@HardKore5250]
