The Market Is Already Pricing AI Like It's Worth Trillions
A warning that the AI boom looks overvalued, and that calm credit markets may be giving investors a false sense of safety.
- Credit markets look relaxed about AI spending, but that same calm showed up right before the 2008 crash.
- Those markets have been wrong before, so a quiet warning signal today is not proof things are fine.
- At some point a big cloud company is expected to cut back its AI spending, and the rest of the tech industry will copy it since they mostly follow each other.
- Michael Burry, famous for calling the 2008 crash, is betting against this — though he tends to be right too early, which often looks like being wrong.
Outlook: Expect growing doubt about AI valuations, with a pullback in spending by one major player likely to trigger others.
