You say this as if when "lending stops", it isn't a big deal. What you're describing is a concern for a collapse in finance markets.
- seizethecheese 2mo agoSure, I’m just saying the article doesn’t have any evidence of the lending stopping.
- kube-system 2mo agoBy the time we have that evidence, the crash is already beginning. What we have today is evidence that lending is overextended unless AI hyperscalers start to make huge profits.
- senko 2mo agoSo, what happens when it stops in this particular instance? The article is about hyperscalers which are massively profitable irrespectively of AI. If the lending stops and this leads to paused or cancelled infra projects, but these companies are still able to service their existing debts, how does this inevitably lead to a collapse? Hoping for a more nuanced analysis than “la la la we all know this time isn’t different”. Every time is different, and it’s instructive to know how different each time is.
