AI infrastructure is now 3.6% of GDP. The good: This is what’s keeping the economy pumping. The bad: If AI falters, it may take the economy with it. The ugly: Private construction on everything else (including housing) is way down.

Saying AI may kill people because there’s a bug in the code, is the same as saying that an airplane kills people because there’s an engineering error in its design. These are human errors that need be addressed. But, let’s be clear, the AI, as the airplane, does not have agency.
