Fiber lasts decades, GPUs last three years: why the AI boom differs from dot-com
Original: Fiber lasts decades, GPUs last three years: the AI boom isn't the dot-com boom [video]
An analysis argues the AI infrastructure boom differs fundamentally from the late-1990s telecom bubble. During dot-com, fiber optic cable laid for the internet stayed usable for decades, meaning overbuilding eventually paid off. Data center GPUs depreciate in roughly three years, so today's massive AI spending must generate returns quickly or become a loss, changing the economics of any potential bubble.
Why now: Investors and analysts are questioning whether current AI infrastructure spending could repeat or diverge from the dot-com bubble
