Shane's Domain Auction Picks for Wednesday February 25th

Shane's Domain Auction Picks for Wednesday February 25th

February 25, 2026

Part of new tech and big changes is the overreaction and underreaction to those changes. With AI, you have some of the world thinking it’s over and we’re going to lose to the robots. You have others just ignoring it and carrying on with business as usual. Then there are those using it as a tool and becoming more productive. And finally, you have the group that thinks it is everything, trying to make everything a nail with their AI hammer.

The reality is that the group that adds it as a tool will most likely be the winner. They understand how it works and use tools others have built to make their lives better and more efficient. They concentrate on what they already do well and figure out how AI can make it better. That will be the common person. The volatility of the other views is going to drive the daily narrative.

Every day you will hear news like “this industry will die,” “these people’s jobs will be replaced,” and “we can’t believe anything anymore,” which will send emotions and actions all over the place. We will overreact, just as the stock market has, trying to value these tools and their abilities. Not only how much value they will add, but who and what will be replaced with the push of a button. We have an idea, but we are still guessing. I love that guessing because it gives me time. Time to lean into what I think will happen and place my bets. Time to invest in companies I believe will be part of the infrastructure of the future. Time to short the companies that are naive and will be overcome by a chip.

It’s not a scary time. It’s an amazing time. And the last time I checked, I am doing all of this on a computer and through domain names. Domains will be fine. How we manage and buy them may change. How people remember a company or website will not. Brands will be just as important as a person’s name. We need identification and association. Everyone will have one, and some will carry more trust, popularity, and value than others.
