Silicon Valley Is Building a $600 Billion Casino With Chips That Expire in Three Years
The First Tech Bubble Where the Infrastructure Rots Faster Than the Business Models
Silicon Valley is building a $600 billion casino where the chips expire in three years. Tech giants are spending fifteen dollars to generate one dollar in AI revenue, creating the first bubble where the infrastructure becomes obsolete before the business models mature. When your data centers depreciate faster than a leased BMW, you can't wait for demand to catch up. It's the dot-com crash meets 2008 financial crisis—with a twist: this time, the "dark fiber" equivalent is worthless before the loans come due. The only innovation? Finding new ways to burn capital.
