Ben Pouladian(@benitoz):The AI race is becoming a race for capital. Today on @theallinpod, @chamath argued that AI borrowing is crowding out appetite for Treasuries. Eight days earlier, I filmed Jensen at GTC Berlin explaining how demand for AI drives demand for compute, then capital, putting pressure on financing costs. I put the clips together because the connection matters: strong AI demand can coexist with expensive capital. The winners still have to finance the buildout and earn the return.
