Latest / Money Grows on Trees / #305 -The AI Bubble Is Coming For Your Super
Transcript
- 0:00Everyone's talking about the AI bubble. 54% of global fund
- 0:03managers think we're in one. The International Monetary Fund is warning about
- 0:07it. And Michael Burry, the guy who shorted the housing market in 2008, just
- 0:10shorted a bunch of AI companies in the last few weeks. And yet everyone's
- 0:14still piling money into this space like it's a sure thing. But here's
- 0:17what nobody's telling you. The AI bubble isn't coming. It's
- 0:21already here. And the only question left is how bad
- 0:24the crash is going to be and whether you're going to protect yourself before
- 0:28it happens. And if you're an Australian investor, if
- 0:31you have superannuation in international funds, you're more exposed to
- 0:34this than you think. And in this video, I'm going
- 0:38to show you exactly why the AI bubble is
- 0:41unsustainable. I'm going to show you the circular deals that are propping up
- 0:45the entire industry. And most importantly, I'm going to show you
- 0:48what this means for you as an Australian investor. I'm Lloyd James
- 0:52Ross, seven-figure investor and entrepreneur, and I've helped thousands of
- 0:55business owners and professionals turn financial stress into
- 0:58success. If you're stuck in old money habits, overwhelmed by investing,
- 1:02or unsure where to start, this is for you. I'll give you the mindset
- 1:06and strategies to take control, grow your wealth, and achieve
- 1:09financial freedom. It's time to make your money work for you. Let's
- 1:13start with this, the scale of the bubble. We'll start with
- 1:16the numbers. Because once you see the scale of what's actually happening, you'll
- 1:20understand why it can't last. So OpenAI, the company
- 1:23behind ChatGPT, was recently valued at about $500 billion.
- 1:27People are saying when it lists it's gonna be a trillion, but $500 billion. Now for
- 1:30context, that's more than Coca-Cola, more than McDonald's, more
- 1:33than even Pfizer. And how much revenue does it currently produce?
- 1:37Well, it's generating about $10 billion a year. How
- 1:41much are they losing? More than that. They're burning through like eight
- 1:44and a half billion dollars in losses, just in losses annually. So
- 1:48we have a company valued at 500 billion that's losing money.
- 1:52And not just losing a little bit of money, it's losing billions of
- 1:56dollars every single year. But don't worry, it
- 1:59gets worse. OpenAI has committed to 1.5 trillion
- 2:04in AI deals. That's trillion with a T. They've signed $500 billion
- 2:09deals with Project Stargate. That's to build all the data centers in the US. A
- 2:13$300 billion deal with Oracle, specifically to buy all the compute power. And
- 2:16another $500 billion with NVIDIA to buy the
- 2:19chips. And then another $300 billion with AMD. That's
- 2:241.5 trillion in commitments for a company that generates 10 billion in revenue. So
- 2:27let me put that in perspective. If open AI used a
- 2:31hundred percent of its revenue, every single dollar it
- 2:34makes to pay for the deals, it would take 150 years to
- 2:39fulfill those commitments. It's
- 2:45not a business model, it's almost like a Ponzi scheme, right? And
- 2:49OpenAI is not alone in this. McKinsey did a
- 2:52recent study and they estimate that the AI industry will
- 2:56need to spend, check this out, will need to spend $7 trillion in
- 3:00capital expenditures over the next five years just to meet the demand. $7 trillion!
- 3:05So to put that in context, America's total capital expenditure across all
- 3:08industries in 2024, last year, was 8.3 trillion. So
- 3:12the AI industry, just one industry, is planning to spend nearly as
- 3:15much as the entire US economy spends on
- 3:18everything. And here's the thing, most of
- 3:21these companies aren't making money. So
- 3:26there's a circular monetary problem happening here. You
- 3:30might be thinking, okay, well, aren't these people smart who
- 3:33are running these companies? They wouldn't be investing in
- 3:37this stuff if it didn't work, right? And I understand that, but here's where
- 3:40the circular money problem arises. You've seen
- 3:44this chart floating around probably, it's floating around the internet, and
- 3:48it shows the financial relationships between all the major AI companies. And
- 3:51when you look at it, you realize something very disturbing. They're all just paying
- 3:55each other. So here's how it works. NVIDIA
- 3:59invests $100 billion in open AI because NVIDIA is
- 4:04one of the largest chip providers, right? In fact, it's the largest
- 4:07and it's a $4 trillion company, a $5 trillion company now. And
- 4:11it's the largest company in the world. And here's the thing, it's
- 4:15got what's called vendor financing. And vendor financing is
- 4:19where they actually allow their biggest customers, and OpenAI is one of their largest customers,
- 4:22$100 billion, to actually buy the chips off
- 4:26them with borrowed money from them. So
- 4:30this happened in the dot-com bubble too, and it's now
- 4:34starting to happen again. So in return to that, OpenAI
- 4:37agrees to buy NVIDIA's chips. And so they're kind of incestuous, they're
- 4:41in bed together, right? And so NVIDIA also
- 4:44invests in the CoreWeave, which is an AI data center, and they agreed to backstop
- 4:48all their services if they can't find customers. So CoreWeave then
- 4:51sells computing power to OpenAI. And AMD gives
- 4:55OpenAI warrants for shares in return for OpenAI's
- 5:00You know commitment to buying the AMD chips so that
- 5:03announcement alone sends the AM stock ticker higher Which
- 5:07then helps pay open AI for the deal that makes sense because they're
- 5:10using warrants So open AI announces a
- 5:13300 billion dollar deal with Oracle for data
- 5:17center capacity Oracle turns around and
- 5:20buys chips from media Who's invested in
- 5:23open AI see the problem? It's a circle. It's
- 5:27circular and NVIDIA is investing in
- 5:30its own customers so they can then buy NVIDIA chips. And
- 5:34then NVIDIA is reporting those chips as sales as revenue, even though
- 5:37they're effectively funding the purchase themselves. And
- 5:40that is the vendor financing conundrum. And
- 5:44it's exactly what happened right at the end of the dot-com bubble incidentally.
- 5:48So the company that was doing that was say
- 5:51Nortel for example. They started lending money to their customers so they could buy their products.
- 5:55And it made their revenue look great. It made their
- 5:58profits look great. And then the whole thing collapsed. Because
- 6:02here's the truth. If you're investing in your customers to give them the cash
- 6:05they need to buy your stuff, you're not actually making any profit. You're
- 6:09just moving money in a circle. It's
- 6:12a loop. And when the music stops, and
- 6:16it will, when investors stop putting money into the space, the
- 6:19whole thing falls apart. And then there's the demand
- 6:23problem. And let's just say I'm
- 6:26wrong. Let's say these circular deals aren't even a problem. Let's
- 6:30say these companies can actually deliver on what they're promising. There's
- 6:34still one massive issue, demand. Specifically,
- 6:41when Bain and company did a study, they estimated that AI will need
- 6:44like $2 trillion in annual revenue by 2030 to be profitable.
- 6:48Think about that. In four years, they need 2 trillion in
- 6:51annual revenue to be profitable, 2 trillion. That's more than the 2024 revenue
- 6:56of Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple,
- 7:00and NVIDIA all combined. That's five times more
- 7:03than the entire software as a service market. And
- 7:07there's no path to that kind of revenue. Yeah, so 80% of
- 7:10companies are using AI in some sort of capacity, right? So ChatGPT broke
- 7:14the records and it's the fastest growing app ever. OpenAI
- 7:17now has like 800 million active users, but only
- 7:216% of those users are actually paying for the service. And 61% of
- 7:25the companies using AI say it hasn't had any real
- 7:29impact on their earnings. So we have hundreds of millions of
- 7:32people using AI for free effectively. And the companies that
- 7:35are paying for it aren't seeing a return on the investment. And Citigroup
- 7:39estimates that AI revenue will reach like $780 billion
- 7:43by 2030. It's very impressive growth. That's like
- 7:4780% a year. It's incredible, right? It's an industrial bubble. But
- 7:51it's still less than half of what Bain said that they needed for
- 7:54the industry just to break even. That's
- 7:58assuming everything goes perfectly. That's assuming
- 8:02AI companies deliver on their promises. That's assuming that demand keeps growing
- 8:06at the same pace. But what if it doesn't? What
- 8:10if we're in this Metaverse 2.0? Remember when
- 8:13Zuck started spending all the cash flow from Meta on the Metaverse? And
- 8:17remember everyone said it was the future, et cetera?
- 8:21I can't remember that. And Meta stock just collapsed because it
- 8:24was just wasted money. Because where is the Metaverse now? It's
- 8:27like, remember when people were buying land in the Metaverse? What
- 8:32happened to them? Anyway, AI is
- 8:36certainly more promising than the metaverse, but the same principle applies.
- 8:40Just because a technology is exciting doesn't mean
- 8:44it's profitable, doesn't mean it's a good investment. We've seen this
- 8:47before with railroads in the 1800s,
- 8:51bubble, industrial bubble. We saw it then with cars, industrial
- 8:55bubble. We saw it then with the internet, industrial
- 8:59bubble. If you look at these industrial bubbles over the course of history, The
- 9:04railroads, there was like tons of railroad companies. And
- 9:07now there's only like a handful. There's only like a handful. There's only like eight big
- 9:11class one railroads in the Western markets,
- 9:15really. And so you think of all those railroads, there's only a handful. Then
- 9:19you look at cars. In fact, in America, there was 200 car manufacturers
- 9:23in the United States at the beginning of the car boom. Now
- 9:27there's like Ford and GM, two, there's two, two.
- 9:32The internet, remember all the internet companies weren't making money? They're gone, gone.
- 9:36Pets.com, toys.com, you know, all gone. There's
- 9:40only a handful, Google, Amazon, Microsoft. Like
- 9:45there's just a handful now. So if you're looking at this as an industrial bubble,
- 9:48of course, there's only gonna be a handful of AI companies left. So there's gonna
- 9:52be a huge fallout, right? So here's the thing with,
- 9:56if you're listening from Australia, cause that's where I'm based right now. Here's
- 10:00what nobody's talking about here in our country. What does it mean for us? What
- 10:03does it mean for people who are, you know, it's in America, right? Open AI doesn't
- 10:07really matter. So what happens to Australian investors when the bubble pops? Let
- 10:11me. Well, it's not good, particularly lately,
- 10:14because a lot of superannuation funds are gonna start putting a lot of money into
- 10:17international shares. But according to the ASX, the
- 10:21Australian investors have poured billions into AI as well. NVIDIA, Microsoft, AMD,
- 10:24these are some of the most heavily traded stocks, even on Australian exchanges, because we
- 10:27can also, on our ASX, have index
- 10:32funds like, you know, from Vanguard and
- 10:35BlackRock, they're listed on our exchange. So you can actually
- 10:39have huge exposure to these companies via those types of ETFs and
- 10:42funds, and that is actually happening. So it's not just retail investors, it's
- 10:46Australian super funds, it's your retirement savings, it's all that stuff.
- 10:49They're heavily exposed to AI. If you look at some ETFs, That
- 10:54a lot of Aussies are exposed to like I would say 30 to
- 10:5840 percent of the holdings are all exposed to AI It's crazy, you know
- 11:02it's wild and so most
- 11:06people are going to be exposed to this crash, right? Or
- 11:09this adjustment in the bubble. Just quickly, if you're ready to take control of your finances but
- 11:13feel stuck on where to start, I have a solution. My
- 11:16book, Money Bias Happiness, simplifies investing and
- 11:19wealth building with practical steps to help you achieve financial peace.
- 11:24Get your copy via the link in the show notes and let's get your money working for
- 11:27you. Now back to the episode. So when it pops, it
- 11:31will definitely hit retirement savings. But there's an
- 11:34even bigger risk if you're in Australia too, because you've got currency risk. So most of these investments
- 11:38are in US dollars. So when the bubble pops, you're not just losing money on the stocks, you
- 11:42may also have some sort of currency conversion too. So
- 11:46yeah, just be careful of that. Because when the US market crashes, typically the
- 11:50Aussie dollar strengthens. And so that
- 11:55amplifies your losses as well. With
- 11:59any hope, people run to the US dollar and that doesn't happen. So you could
- 12:02potentially get hit twice, right? One with the stock price, and
- 12:06then one on the currency. And there's the economic impact of
- 12:09that. And people will often say, well, how does that impact our economy? Well, remember when
- 12:12housing collapsed in America? Boom, a couple of years later, we got smashed. Because
- 12:17the old saying goes, when America catches a cold, when America sneezes, Australia
- 12:21catches a cold. You've probably heard that before. So Australia's economy is
- 12:24definitely dependent on resources, right? We've got iron ore, coal, natural gas.
- 12:27These are our biggest exports. And guess who buys them? China. And
- 12:31guess who else buys them? USA. And they
- 12:35buy them for manufacturing, infrastructure, technology, and development. And so when the
- 12:38AI bubble pops, the global thirst for these commodities will
- 12:41actually dry up too. Now, I don't think that's going to happen in the
- 12:45short term. But long term, at some point, there will be
- 12:48an adjustment to these revenue projections, the amount of capital being
- 12:51put into these things, and the ROI that's not coming back. and
- 12:55that's gonna definitely have a knock-on impact to us as
- 12:58a country, to our resource sector, et cetera, and
- 13:01then it'll start to then have a knock-on effect in jobs, right? So it
- 13:04means the Australian economy then will start to contract as well. So it wouldn't surprise me
- 13:08to see a recession after a
- 13:11global AI bubble pop. So everybody's pretty much exposed to
- 13:15the risk, okay? So it's not just gonna hurt tech investors, I think it's gonna hurt everyone.
- 13:18Now, to what extent, we don't know, but there's definitely concentration
- 13:23risk because Everyone's talking about
- 13:26AI. It's just like the thing. Yeah And I
- 13:30think it's like 35 to there about companies account for like 90 Yeah,
- 13:34almost a hundred percent of the AI token spending In
- 13:38fact, there's two companies that are actually accounting
- 13:41for almost 50% of it, right? NVIDIA's chips, of course, and
- 13:45then other companies involved in the AI itself. They
- 13:49account for like, I think it's 36% of the S&P 500's growth.
- 13:53This is wild, okay? I would say the most concentrated
- 13:57S&P 500 in recent memory. So when you're buying
- 14:01the S&P 500 as an example, you're buying 500 companies, but by the way, most
- 14:05of the gains are from The AI companies
- 14:08which account for 40% of the fund. Okay, so it's just something to
- 14:12understand, right? So if one of these companies fails, then it sends a bit of a shockwave
- 14:15through the entire market, right? And then OpenAI is basically
- 14:19at the center of it all. Because OpenAI's deal announcements
- 14:23alone, right? They've added hundreds of
- 14:26billions of dollars to the market values of Broadcom and Video and AMD. So
- 14:30if OpenAI pulls back, if they can't deliver on their promises,
- 14:34and right now Alphabet is cranking. It's
- 14:38taken so much market share from OpenAI. Look at the chart. It's dominating
- 14:41because Google has a distribution across its powerful
- 14:45businesses to implement AI faster than OpenAI. OpenAI is pure.
- 14:49It's very much its own business, and it can get absolutely crushed by people like Alphabet,
- 14:53who have just got these wide modes and distribution channels that they don't access.
- 14:57In fact, right now, Google is one of the only ones. In fact,
- 15:00Google and Alibaba are the only full-tech stack AI, which means this. They
- 15:03own the chips, they own the data centers, and
- 15:07they own the distribution. the actual AI models. So
- 15:10they're the only full stack. And in fact, too, they've got contracts
- 15:14on nuclear power. So if you go right upstream, nuclear
- 15:18power contracts for getting power, then you've got the
- 15:22actual chips themselves, then you've got the data centers,
- 15:25then you've got the models. And that's a full stack AI for
- 15:28vertically integrated business model. Those who've got a fully vertically
- 15:32integrated business model not only control the model themselves, they
- 15:36make better margins, but they also can squeeze
- 15:40out these other ones at a higher cost. It's very much like the oil industry in
- 15:44that sense. You get companies like that
- 15:47versus an open AI and they're already crushing open AI. This is what's happening
- 15:50in real time. What's happening too is in
- 15:54the prices out there, the P ratios, the price
- 15:58that you're paying for these companies in relation to their earnings, they're getting
- 16:01quite high, which means there's no room for error. So
- 16:04there's no room for disappointing results. If they don't stack up, it doesn't happen, they don't
- 16:07deliver, there's gonna be massive price adjustments. You're gonna see a huge, there could be
- 16:11a big bear market, 20, 30% collapse in the stock market for sure, as
- 16:15these prices start to adjust based on the earnings that they can actually deliver on. So
- 16:18you look at the peer ratio of the S&P 500 now, it's actually at 30 times earnings,
- 16:22which historically is very high, very high. It's
- 16:26not quite as high as the dot-com bubble. In the dot-com bubble, it was 46 times
- 16:30earnings. Flipping very high, right? So we're not quite at dot-com
- 16:33bubble levels yet, but we're getting close. And here's the difference. During
- 16:37the dot-com bubble, 36% of the tech companies were actually losing
- 16:40money. They're just like URLs, it was wild. I
- 16:45was only 17, I still remember. Today, it's only 18%, right?
- 16:48So on the surface, things look a lot better. The financials are definitely stronger. The
- 16:51companies look more stable. They are more stable, but that doesn't account for the private companies like
- 16:55OpenAI and Anthropic and so forth that are completely unprofitable. They're burning through
- 16:59billions of dollars in cash. And it doesn't account for the circular money problem with
- 17:02the vendor financing that's happening with Nvidia, or the demand problem, or
- 17:05the infrastructure bottlenecks like power, right? Which is a huge constraint. So
- 17:10why this bubble, this industrial bubble, which it is, is
- 17:13different from the dot-com bubble, which is also an industrial bubble from the internet. It
- 17:19is different. And I know you're probably thinking, Lloyd, why are you being so negative, right?
- 17:22Why are you bullish on AI? I love AI, it's great, but there's definitely a bubble. The
- 17:26internet was a bubble too, and it's changed the world, it's amazing. So
- 17:30financial bubbles are really bad for people. Like the 2008 housing
- 17:35bubble was a financial bubble. It was FOMO by the
- 17:38consumer of buying things worth way more than what it costs, and it
- 17:42was FOMO. That was very bad because they were selling bonds, anyway, long
- 17:45story. Not ideal. Financial bubbles suck. 1929 was
- 17:49a financial bubble, and so was the 2008 financial crash. So financial bubbles,
- 17:53extremely systemically bad for us. They can cause
- 17:56depressions. However, industrial bubbles
- 17:59are really good for us as consumers. It advances our lifestyle
- 18:04massively. But it's not so good for investors if they own pieces
- 18:07of these companies that aren't making the money they say they are, right? That's the issue.
- 18:13So, the internet changed the world, railroads changed the world, cars changed the world,
- 18:16AI is changing the world. But it also, the internet, dot-com
- 18:20bubble also led to an 80% collapse of the NASDAQ
- 18:26If you look at the NASDAQ in 2000, 1999, 2000, 80% collapse.
- 18:31In fact, it collapsed over a couple of years. But then it, listen to this, it took
- 18:3514 years to recover. Be
- 18:39aware of that. It can happen again. So thousands of .com startups obviously
- 18:42went broke. Investors lost trillions. It took a long time
- 18:45to recover. But again, a few companies did
- 18:49survive. So yeah, AI is
- 18:52changing the world, but it doesn't mean you're necessarily going to make money from
- 18:55it. And this is why Warren Buffett doesn't invest heavily into fast-changing industries,
- 18:59because it's not how you make money. It's how you definitely have a better life.
- 19:03Okay, so there's a few differences between the dot-com bubble and the AI bubble back
- 19:07then interest rates were rising The Federal Reserve was actually tightening monetary policy right
- 19:10now. They're actually gonna bet to the opposite They're gonna probably
- 19:14drop rates because inflation's come right down. Okay, so there's a huge difference. We're
- 19:17gonna see rate cuts which means the bubble's got more room to
- 19:21run. If rates are cut, oh my God,
- 19:24we're gonna see this thing flip and boom, and I think rates are gonna get cut, because Trump right
- 19:27now is like, he's hammering the Fed chairman to
- 19:31start cutting rates, right? So the timing's a lot different. During
- 19:35the dot-com bubble, Alan Greenspan was the Federal Reserve Chair
- 19:38at the time, right? And he said, oh, there's a
- 19:41lot of irrational exuberance, which there was in 1996, I think he said
- 19:44that. And then four years later, bang, the bubble pops. So it takes a
- 19:47while, right? So even if we are in a massive bubble, it
- 19:51could take a few years. And especially if they drop rates, it definitely will. And
- 19:54it could also pop tomorrow. I mean, we just don't really know. But we do
- 19:57know for certain that right now there's way too much capital flowing
- 20:01into AI based on the expected returns of
- 20:04that capital. Now, if that happens, it's very capital intensive and
- 20:07very return light, which means at some point it'll
- 20:11adjust. And when it adjusts, the market will go through some sort of you
- 20:16know, bear market, okay? So what do you do right now?
- 20:19What do you do? First, if you're invested in AI
- 20:23stocks specifically, you need to take a hard look at your portfolio. I'm
- 20:26not saying sell everything, I'm not saying don't buy AI stocks, but I'm
- 20:29just saying you need to understand your own risks. So if you own NVIDIA, AMD,
- 20:33Microsoft, one of these companies that are not only heavily exposed to AI, but
- 20:37also at a very high price based on the capital expenditure, Then
- 20:42you've got to be very careful. Now, there are companies out there like Google,
- 20:45for example, got multiple verticals. It's got YouTube, cloud,
- 20:51it's a cloud leader. It's got its own TPUs now. It's
- 20:57a vast empire. People often joke, Google is the internet. And
- 21:02so you've got these companies that are earning tons of profit, got a hundred billion in cash. There
- 21:06are certainly opportunities out there where it makes a lot of sense, where companies
- 21:09are really going to they're
- 21:14gonna become even more powerful with the likes of AI. So
- 21:18there are some great opportunities out there, as long as
- 21:21the valuations are reasonable. And that just means are you getting,
- 21:25are they gonna be able to generate
- 21:28profits based on their spending? That's all that matters, okay? So
- 21:32if they can't, they'll fall hard, right? Now
- 21:36the other part that you can do is make sure you're diverse. So don't put all
- 21:39your eggs in one AI basket, okay? You don't wanna chase the hype. I
- 21:42see some portfolios in X and they're just all AI stocks. I'm like, these guys are gonna
- 21:46get killed, right? So make sure you're diversified across sectors. Perhaps
- 21:49you'll be in like, for example, I'm
- 21:53in railroad, I'm in oil, I'm in healthcare,
- 21:57I'm in certainly technology, but I'm in China tech, so it's
- 22:00a little bit different to US tech, and I'm slightly a little bit in US tech, and
- 22:04then a little bit of cash and some other things. So you have to be diversified. That's very
- 22:07important, right? You don't need to just be all stacked in AI because you
- 22:11have no sector diversification. Everybody knows to be a little bit diversified. And
- 22:16then understanding that owning shares in companies that
- 22:19survive the bubbles, that's a more astute way to
- 22:23invest long term, right? And that's where I'm putting my money because the
- 22:26companies that I'm investing in, I know that even through
- 22:30a bubble burst, they'll come out stronger. And that's what
- 22:33you want to do. You want to invest in companies that will do well either
- 22:36which way, okay? And you've got to be very mindful of price. You
- 22:39don't want to time the market. That's not a good, sensible strategy. What
- 22:43I've done lately is I've got this thing called the 100-year portfolio
- 22:46that I'm building, my own personal portfolio. And I've renamed it that
- 22:50because I'm like, am I buying companies that have not
- 22:53only withstood the last 100 years, that they can do it again, in
- 22:56products and areas that are impossible to compete with? And
- 23:00it's just changed my entire approach And I'm just so
- 23:04much more excited about that because I don't have to worry about timing, disruption,
- 23:08anything like that. And some companies in the AI race, they do tick a
- 23:11lot of those boxes. So you don't wanna make emotional, hypey
- 23:15decisions around AI, okay? Just protect yourself, diversify, focus on
- 23:18the fundamentals, okay? If you don't know what fundamentals are, go
- 23:22get my book, Money Buys Happiness, on the second page. There's a little cool little course that you
- 23:25can do which will explain all that stuff, right? Moneybuyshappinessbook.com, go
- 23:28check it out. Because the worst thing you can do is not
- 23:32be educated and do nothing. That's the worst thing, right? Is not
- 23:36understand what's happening, right? So I'm not here to tell you that it's all gonna
- 23:39be bad and it's gonna, you know, it's a huge fallout and we're gonna go through a massive recession. I'm not saying
- 23:43that. I'm saying that AI is changing the world. I'm excited about it.
- 23:46Some insane things are coming, but it
- 23:50may hurt you as an investor. When
- 23:55Mark Zuckerberg gets on the news and he tells Trump, we're
- 23:59going to throw 500 billion, they just throw these numbers around like nothing. they
- 24:03have to generate a return from the capital. Otherwise, there's going to be capital destruction.
- 24:07And that's what's going to lead to the AI bubble popping, right? Especially if
- 24:11this circular money thing continues, which is why Michael Burry's put
- 24:14a short bet on these companies, because he knows this too. It's just a matter of
- 24:18time, right? So when it pops, a lot of people are going to lose a lot
- 24:21of money. Don't be one of them. Protect your wealth, diversify,
- 24:25focus on fundamentals. And if you found this video helpful, make
