Everyone is so focused on Nvidia's valuation or the Hyperscalers or the Frontier Model developers. Or the off-balance sheet debt. But these are all distractions. I'm starting to think that the more useful look is to value the 'AI Machine' as a whole.
It stands to reason that the AI revenue has to top out at some percentage of total corporate spend. Then the sum of the parts valuation has to add up to that value. If AI revenue levels off around $200 billion (for instance), then it starts to get hard to justify the roughly $30 Trillion valuation for the 'machine' as a whole (150x peak sales).
The question is - ***Where is the AI revenue ceiling?***
