AI Bubble Analysis
TL;DR
A Reddit-tier macro analysis arguing that AI valuations aren't actually insane because we have physical GPUs and actual revenue to show for the burn.
Who is this actually for?
Anxiety-ridden founders and VCs trying to justify their high burn rates to LPs before the next funding round.
The Good
- Reminds everyone that OpenAI and Anthropic have actual revenue, unlike the 'hope and prayers' business models of the DotCom era.
- Correctly identifies that physical data center infrastructure provides a tangible floor that previous bubbles lacked.
The Catch (Potential Downsides)
The author originally confused P/E ratios with Revenue multiples, which is a massive red flag for any financial 'analysis.' It also ignores that high upfront costs can still kill a company even if the tech is real.
