AI capex
AI-related capital spending is described as accelerating sharply: US spending on computers and peripherals reached a record $420.1 billion in Q2 2026, up for a sixth consecutive quarter, though the measure excludes some AI investment categories 3. Jack Farley highlighted semiconductor analyst Stacy Rasgon’s view that Jensen Huang’s earlier estimate of $3–4 trillion in annual AI capex no longer sounds implausible 1. Adam Taggart warned that an AI stumble could create an economic one-two punch through weaker capex and wealth effects, while Jim Iuorio increasingly sees genuine productivity gains but remains cautious about the equity trade 2.

The stories
- ○ a voice, on the left
- ◌ a voice raising half of these
- ● a subject, on the right, under its story
- ⌒ a line is a voice raising a subject — thicker, more items; colour is the story
The stories this entity travels in: on the right, each story with the subjects seen alongside it; on the left, the voices that raised them, and a line for every subject a voice raised, bundled by story. Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
