AI’s $1 trillion bet - is it an #AI bubble or dot-com bust? Global data‑center capital expenditure to power AI is projected to rise from roughly $430 billion this year to over $1.1 trillion by 2029 (which is equal to the GDP of the Netherlands). Why it matters:
We’re witnessing an infrastructure boom that echoes a familiar pattern in tech history but the question is whether it’s building toward lasting transformation or racing toward collapse.
Capital is pouring into data centers, cooling systems, power infrastructure, and networks at a staggering pace. Yet most AI applications haven’t proven they can generate sustainable revenue at scale.
BTW, this article is a good one, even though it bears the hallmarks of some AI input. I’m tired of hearing about #AISlop from folks who don’t even read materials to determine if they deliver meaningful content. I use AI as my research & brainstorming asst. It works.
