🔮 How we’ll know if we’re in an AI bubble (history’s 5 warning signs)

Also on Apple Podcasts and Spotify

Last week, we published Is AI a Bubble?, an essay setting out a clear framework for assessing AI’s $10 trillion question.

The response to the essay was so strong that we distilled it into a short video and podcast for you – a quick guide to the framework and what it reveals about whether AI is a boom or a bubble.

What you’ll learn:

  • The framework: Our five gauges benchmark AI’s trajectory against past bubbles, from railways to dot-coms.

  • Historical parallels and differences: What happens when AI’s capital build has the heft of the railways, but its assets burn out like dot-com servers rather than steel tracks?

  • Investor implications: How to spot the signals that mark the shift from boom to bubble.

  • Strategic takeaway: Why today’s AI cycle still qualifies as a boom.

🧭 Dive into the full framework in our original analysis.

Thanks for all your questions and feedback. More to come soon.
