A while ago I was thinking, “Gee, AI is so complicated, how can I keep up with the landscape?”

After reading these articles go by so often, it feels like what I actually can’t keep up with is the bond market. To paraphrase Trotsky, you may not be interested in the bond market, but the bond market is interested in you. I want to be able to read the signals at the bottom of this article, and divine some kind of prediction that can guide me… I don’t know, to choose whether I should buy a house or change the investment strategy in my retirement fund or something. But I’m just seeing all these signals go by, waiting for the story to be written, which only happens when the dust settles.

I guess I’ll go back to not understanding AI, instead of not understanding the bond market.

mrloopex•36m ago
Don’t forget there is a constant pressure for everyone to have an opinion on how this is going to end while hoping it ends tomorrow so they can be vindicated. The dotcom bust took a decade to grow and collapse. I think it is too early to make predictions with AI. I mean the sentiment here is either it will dry up the world and kill us all or transcend humanity, there’s no gray area. I don’t want to fall into the emotional sieve that seems to drive everything.
belZaah•30m ago
What’s weird is how emotional people get on this. I told publicly (because I was asked, not out of an obligation to have an opinion), that the prices we pay for LLMs are likely to go up because that’s what happens when the ratio of operational assets to foreign capital drops due to the capital having been turned into heat rather than operational assets. The grief I got from people, dear Lord…
klodolph•22m ago
I think that opinion is as reasonable as any. I feel compelled to argue against it (I even thought out the arguments in my head!) but my compulsion to have an opinion on HN is a disease, and you made a point of saying that you gave the opinion because asked.
mapping365•29m ago
That's the financial stakes here. That's why it's all or nothing. You're spending on a level that is only justified by the bonafide machine god being ushered into existence, not productivity or coding tools (and on relatively short time horizon). So if this doesn't change the near term trajectory of humanity to a parabolic move upward there is going to be a lot of economic pain. It's not just the spending, it's that the expectations for the returns to justify them are in a relatively short period of time.
klodolph•25m ago
What’s your reasoning for saying that the spending level requires that level of justification?
mapping365•21m ago
I think these large numbers are casually thrown about, but the real meaning is mind boggling. 1 trillion dollars is the entire US defense budget - aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, health care, salaries, stealth fighters ect. The hidden AI debt alone is more than that https://asia.nikkei.com/business/technology/five-us-tech-gia... just for five tech giants (not to mention all the other smaller players like neoclouds)
fsckboy•29m ago
you won't get debt if you don't have assets that can be repossessed, so having debt means these AI companies have assets: that's a strong thing, not a weak thing. interest rates are what they are, and they go up and down for reasons exogenous to your industry; debt regardless of interest is always "cheaper" than equity, and the shareholders expect to make their money from equity, paying interest on debt as a type of impedance matching and cost of keeping more equity.

so everything is going according to plan, and nobody knows the future, and predicting collpses has never been a profitable business.

I didn't have to read past the first few confusing contorted and convoluted paragraps of this article to decide to come over here and explain it, this is all straightforward corporate finance 102 and the article is fluff

ragebol•21m ago
Yes, they have assets: GPUs sitting in datacenters, and data.

Question is: is that worth enough to cover the debt after the market crashed?

gymbeaux•14m ago
I would imagine Anthropic et al. are largely leasing land/buildings, so as the other commenter said… must be the server racks that are acting as collateral (if anything). Generally enterprise hardware depreciates very harshly. I’m used to paying $10 for Intel Xeons that once retailed for over $5,000. I expect to pick up some NVIDIA Blackwell 6000s for $100 each someday.
jamesfinlayson•9m ago
Yep, a friend recently told me that he remembers working somewhere that gave away old empty server racks - they were unnecessary, and expensive to store, so why keep them?

I remember when Amazon was going to go broke every year for over a decade.

Until they didn't.

lelanthran•25m ago
I remember when hundreds of dotcom companies were going to go broke, and they all did.

Not sure what your point is.

anukin•20m ago
That’s because they were reinvesting the profits. I think they had given a profitable quarter just to show that they could do it.

Warren Buffet way

Revolutionary technology + massive adoption ≠ good investment

Investors have poured money into a bottomless pit, attracted by the growth and glamour of the industry. The airline industry since its birth has had a collective net loss, in aggregate, despite moving hundreds of millions of people.

Commodity Product, no switching costs. Infinite competition

aurareturn•7m ago
It isn't a commodity product in my opinion. Far from it. I think it will ultimately be a monopoly or duopoly for SOTA. The mid to low end is commodity, yes. But SOTA models are not commodities.

The number of competitors for SOTA drops by a few every year the winners make more money, get more revenue, buy more compute, train better model with compute, buy best talent, and the cycle goes.

I think it's easier to fall behind and never catch back up than people think. One disastrous training run can leave a lab months to a year behind and may never be able to catch back up.

I agree with the general sentiment, but I feel like it is also a bit reductive. Assets in this space are near impossible to evaluate and can fluctuate in value greatly based on other actors. In a hypothetical scenario where, say, google releases a new frontier model that somehow leapfrogs the competition by 5 months all of a sudden the value of the Asset of Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 might completely crater.

GPUs have a five year lifespan before they become obsolete and start experiencing reliability issues. We're already 1-2 years into that five year lifespan.
