The physical infrastructure powering AI — GPU shortages, NVIDIA's dominance, custom AI chips, data center buildouts, the geopolitics of semiconductor supply chains, and the staggering energy and capital costs of training frontier models.
A year ago, every infrastructure forecast warned of a coming GPU shortage that would choke AI scaling. This week, the conversation shifted from scarcity to overcommitment — and the market priced it in real time. Samsung Electronics crossed $1 trillion in valuation on the strength…
