Fidelity’s Director of Global Macro saying that the AI trade has been “dead money” for three months, and that it’s inflationary, meaning (as I’ve discussed multiple times) that the more debt they raise the more expensive debt becomes and the more they build data centers the more expensive it gets

On the Al front, the trade has been dead money for more than 3 months now. The metrics I am following (token expenditures and GPU lease rates) are all flat to down. The price of memory (DRAM) seems to be the only thing that is still going up.

Yes, Al will change our lives (for the better l trust) and down the road it may well unleash a productivity miracle that raises the economy's non-inflationary speed limit enough to keep the world's mounting debt burden sustainable. But until then the buildout is inflationary with an unknown return for the companies who are investing trillions into compute. The demand fo capital (equity and debt) from corporates is rising at a $3.3 trillion clip.

Itana, the Network State site in Nigeria, was quiet for awhile, but has been building all the while, and now expanding with the backing of the Nigerian government Itana is funded by Andreessen and Thiel through Pronomos Capital punchng.com/tinubu-moves...
President Bola Tinubu has moved Nigeria’s Digital Free Zones initiative to its implementation phase, targeting increased global investment, job creation and the retention of Nigerian technology companies and intellectual property in the country.

The President also directed the Minister of Trade and Investment, Jumoke Oduwole, to work with the Itana Innovation project and the Presidential Steering Committee on Digital Free Zones to develop a roadmap for the full launch of the initiative within 180 days.

According to a statement issued on Thursday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the initiative is aimed at making it easier for Nigerian technology and service companies to raise global capital, employ Nigerians and build for international markets without relocating their businesses and intellectual property abroad.

Tinubu said the initiative would also create opportunities for young Nigerians to work for global companies from within the country while expanding the domestic ecosystem of engineers, developers, designers, lawyers, accountants and other professionals supporting digital businesses.
