Nick states, "I am not worried in the slightest about 600 billion of capex... I think this is bigger than the industrial revolution." He explicitly prefers owning the "company making this happen" (infrastructure) over the model companies. AI capability is improving on a "super exponential" curve. Regardless of which model wins (OpenAI vs. Anthropic vs. Google), they all require massive compute and energy. The infrastructure layer is the "pick and shovel" play that hedges against model obsolescence. Long the physical infrastructure powering AI. Overbuilding of capacity if AI monetization slows down.
