Investors We’d Trust Most to Call the AI Bubble

Cahn’s work comparing AI infrastructure spending with required software revenue made the investment gap concrete. He asks who must earn money for the stack to work.

Meeker’s data-heavy optimism distinguishes real adoption from fashionable commentary. Her case would be more useful than reflexive pessimism.

Moritz invested across several technology cycles and watched excellent companies survive terrible entry prices. His time horizon is longer than the current enthusiasm.

Dalio watches debt, liquidity and capital cycles rather than treating AI as a separate technological universe. The macro view can expose risks product enthusiasm misses.
