Wall Street Funds AI Bubble: GPUs Aren't Railroad Tracks, Sadly
The AI summer insanity train keeps speeding thanks to Wall Street's love affair with 'structured credit'—basically complex borrowing gymnastics that no one actually understands but everyone's pretending is fine. Veteran BI reporter Dakin Campbell, with nearly two decades of Wall Street battle scars, warns this risk-spreading method makes following the money like chasing smoke in a bonfire. Zuckerberg and Altman, fueled by childhood sci-fi dreams and egos the size of Tesla factories, continue betting on AGI profits coming someday, maybe, eventually. Meanwhile, 60% of AI infrastructure spending vanishes fast in GPUs that die quicker than your last diet, unlike railroad tracks that mournfully last for centuries. And generators? Sure, Grammarly is making Dakin's friends decent writers, but actual dependable AI problem-solving? Not yet. This AI bonfire is blazing, just don't ask for s'mores yet.
