Wall Street Is Starting to Split the AI Trade in Two

For most of the generative AI boom, Wall Street treated artificial intelligence less like a technology stack than a single enormous trade. Nvidia sold the GPUs. Hyperscalers built the data centers.

Your AI Prompt Has a Capital Expenditure Problem

You type a prompt. A few seconds later, an answer appears. From the user’s side, the transaction feels almost absurdly lightweight: a text box, a handful of tokens, perhaps a monthly subscription.

Nvidia Wants Wall Street to Finance the AI Multiverse

AI has spent the past few years looking like a software revolution powered by unusually expensive chips. That description is starting to feel obsolete. The next phase looks more like SimCity with investment bankers.

AI Training Data: The Great Pillage of the Internet

The generative AI boom did not begin with a blank page. It was built on decades of human work: articles, photographs, videos, software code, forum discussions, product reviews, personal stories and countless other fragments of digital culture.
