THOUGHTS ON THE AI BUILDOUT

AI growth is facing physical limits. Nvidia's profits could fund several new TSMC fabs, which means chip demand now exceeds the cost of producing them. The real constraints are power, materials, and labor. The world needs more factories for turbines and transformers, and hundreds of thousands of skilled workers to wire and cool datacenters. Speed now matters more than efficiency, so natural gas is beating nuclear and solar for new power. Hyperscalers are moving off-grid, building modular datacenters, and paying suppliers more to accelerate production. If growth continues, tens of gigawatts of new capacity will come online each year. Even if the boom slows, it will leave behind a massive industrial base ready to deliver cheap, rapid compute for decades.

THE FUTURE OF THE WEB IS THE HISTORY OF YOUTUBE

Fifteen years ago, people making YouTube videos looked like hobbyists in an already crowded world of content. In hindsight, the world was actually short on video, waiting for tools that made creation easy. Software is at that same point now. Large language models let anyone with an idea build an app without writing code, turning small, niche ideas into real products. This shift opens the long tail of software that was never worth hiring a team to build. The people driving it will look less like engineers and more like creators who understand audiences and storytelling. The web is becoming more participatory again, powered by people who make things because they can, not because they have permission.
