There are fresh signs that the AI boom is wobbling. Again. In recent weeks, a much-vaunted AI focused hedge fund run by Valley wunderkind Leopold Aschenbrenner lost $35 billion dollars.

Due to a fresh series of moratoria and political opposition, the future of the massive data center buildout has never looked more uncertain. The US markets have dipped and boomed, dipped and boomed.
