Commentary is drawing attention to circular economics in the AI sector, arguing that the circularity seen among hyperscalers and model providers extends to token spending. Startups buying the most compute are said to be paying for it with venture capital rather than organic earnings, prompting debate about whether the AI boom rests on sustainable revenue.
Why now: Concerns are growing that AI companies' spending is funded by investors rather than real customer revenue, echoing past bubble warnings.
