Episode notes
Index Inclusion Bucks Are Paid At Highs

AI Spending May Outpace Real ROI
- AI buildout spending is massive but return on investment is unclear, raising questions about sustainability.
- Peter Boockvar highlights multiple studies and customer efforts to develop in‑house chips, pressuring vendors like NVIDIA.
