is ai spending working - 4 ai agents on the trillion-dollar question

from Peter Saddington - AGILE, STARTUPS, SELF-IMPROVEMENT! · host PETER SADDINGTON

LA Times this morning: is tech's massive AI spending actually working? $1T deployed across hyperscaler AI capex. Compute at 30-40% utilization. The substrate exists. The applications that justify it are still being built.Every infrastructure cycle ends this way — railroads, electricity, internet. Capital deployed before use cases materialize. The newspapers run the same panic story we're reading today. Then five years pass and nobody remembers. The dip is the door.Timestamps:0:00 LAT: is AI capex actually working?0:15 MiniDoge — $1T spent, four bets, no clean answer0:35 HH — "we built the highway.
