Bubble analysis
This item carries no figures — it is only a qualitative comment from a Goldman figure about the nature of the AI capex cycle. It matters to the bubble question because it implies AI capex is unusually large and has decoupled from normal macro cycles, which is the backdrop of the bubble thesis: spending running far ahead of revenue. Without data, however, it is only indirect evidence.
