In 1991, a group of Cambridge students pointed a webcam at a coffee pot so they wouldn't have to walk downstairs for nothing. The footage from that little camera accidentally became the world's first viral video and helped spark the hype that eventually imploded into the Dotcom crash. So here's the question: are we doing it again? To figure that out, you have to understand the "critical lie" of the 90s: "Dark Fiber". We buried $500 billion worth of cable that 90% of the world wasn't ready to use. And right now, there's a very real argument that Nvidia chips and Manhattan-sized data centers are playing the same role. This video looks at three things the AI boom is betting everything on. If any of them turn out to be wrong, the whole thing unravels: * **AI keeps getting smarter**: why the jump from reading text to actually *seeing* the world is a much harder problem than anyone's admitting * **We need more data centers**: the Dark GPU vs. Dark Fiber debate, and a power grid that was not built for this * **Everyone's using it**: why ChatGPT's retention curve is doing something economists genuinely thought wasn't possible We also get into whale oil, Jevons' Paradox, and why this might not be a bubble in the classic sense but actually something stranger and bigger. #AI #TechBubble #Nvidia #Dotcom #Economics #ChatGPT #DeepSeek #DataCenters #History #Innovation #JevonsParadox Earn a 1% match when you transfer an account to Public.com.
