matteoraso questions the claim that AI is a bubble
What happened
On November 9, Hacker News covered matteoraso's challenge to the claim that the AI industry is necessarily a bubble. The post offers an alternative reading on three fronts: infrastructure spending, revenue growth and listed-company valuations. It treats data-center construction as one-time spending, cites Anthropic's revenue figures, and compares the price-to-earnings ratios of Alphabet, Meta and NVIDIA with those of the dot-com bubble. It also argues that lacking a lasting moat doesn't stop a company from being profitable. The coverage presents the case against a guaranteed bubble and gives no follow-up.
