ABOUT THIS EPISODE
THE CONVERSATION
Lin Wei and Marcus Cho debate whether the trillion-dollar AI infrastructure build-out is laying tracks for a productive decade — or simply re-running the dot-com playbook with bigger checks. We map the GPU supply chain, hyperscaler capex cycles, and where the real returns will accrue in a world awash with compute.
