Artificial Intelligence
Across macro podcasts and posts, AI is framed as both an unstoppable strategic imperative and a volatile, capex-heavy trade. Jim Bianco is bullish on the sector’s trajectory but warns it will inevitably end in a bubble, with high volatility along the way 1. Luke Gromen flags rising competitive pressures from China, ROI questions, and refinancing risks, suggesting NASDAQ remains unattractive, while also citing an article likening AI’s second-order effects to a 2008-style collapse but expecting the government wouldn’t allow a full-on AI crash 2. Anas Alhajji ties U.S. ambitions for dominance in energy and AI to supply-chain and energy-market control, stressing AI’s dependence on energy and noting higher Asian energy costs weigh on Asia’s AI industry; equities momentum remains supported by the AI boom and semis 4. Separately, AI is already changing investment processes and simplifying back-office tasks at a venture firm, per a discussion hosted by Max Wiethe 5.
