The AI Demand Bubble
On Friday, I’ll publish the second installment of the Hater’s Guide to Nvidia — where I’ll take a look at how the AI bubble transformed the company from a pure hardware player to a purveyor of the financial dark arts. If you want to get in touch — and especially if you have any juicy information about Anthropic, OpenAI, or any other companies in the AI bubble — hit me up on Signal at ezitron.76. Soundtrack: Tool - Forty Six & 2 The question I want to ask anyone reading this who might have invested in or in some way backed the hyperscalers and the greater AI industry: What is it you think you’ve gotten yourself into?
