You can't print energy...

zerohedge: "The money is not the problem: AI is the new global arms race, and Capex will eventually be funded by governments (US and China). If you want to know why gold/silver/bitcoin is soaring, it's the "debasement" to fund the AI arms race. But you can't print energy".

🚨 “China is going to win the AI race.” — Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA

When the world’s most valuable tech CEO says the US might lose the AI race, people listen. At the FT’s Future of AI Summit, Huang didn’t hold back: ⚙️ China’s advantage → lower energy costs + looser regulations. ⚡ “Power is free” — local governments are literally subsidizing electricity for data centers (ByteDance, Alibaba, Tencent). 🇨🇳 Chinese firms are ramping up domestic AI chips — even if they’re less efficient than NVIDIA’s, they’re cheap to run. 🇺🇸 Meanwhile, the US faces export bans, fragmented AI rules, and what Huang calls “cynicism.” His message? “We need more optimism.” The irony: The US bans NVIDIA’s best chips from China to protect its lead. But by doing so, it might be accelerating China’s self-reliance. Huang’s warning hits hard: regulation, energy policy, and mindset could decide who truly leads in AI — not just who has the best chips. 💬 What do you think — is Huang right? Will policy and power matter more than chips and code in the next phase of the AI race? See the link to FT article >>> https://lnkd.in/eas5VKjj

🔥 “We’ve entered the AI virtuous cycle.” — Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA (CNBC)

At the APEC CEO Summit in South Korea, Jensen Huang painted a powerful picture of what’s happening in AI right now — and why growth might only accelerate from here. He explained it simply: “The AIs get better. More people use it. More people use it — it makes more profit. More profit creates more factories. More factories create better AIs. And the cycle repeats.” That’s the AI virtuous cycle — a self-reinforcing loop driving innovation, usage, and investment at record speed. 💡 The result? Smarter models → More adoption → Bigger profits → Massive infrastructure buildouts → Even smarter models. It’s not just hype, it’s momentum. Big Tech is pouring billions into AI infrastructure, fueling this cycle and redefining how fast industries evolve. Source: CNBC
