It was a muggy July day in Santa Cruz and life could not have been more mundane for Alessandro “Alo” Slebir. The 24-year-old was pounding wooden concrete forms into a missing section of sidewalk. Cars raced by on a suburban highway as a neighbor walked over, looked at Slebir and asked, “Should I move my car?” “Hey, no worries, you’re fine!

On Monday, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, became the fourth company to reach a market value of $3 trillion, and every member of this exclusive club has something in common. All it took was a rather small 4% rise in shares for the tech giant to hit the coveted stock market benchmark. Rather unsurprisingly, the three previous winners of that title—Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple—are all titans of the tech industry that have been riding the wave of investor interest in AI, as well.
