The sector generating the least spectacle is producing the most substance. One week in March 2026 made it impossible to ignore.
Show notes
AI stopped being a software story and became an infrastructure story. Nearly $700 billion in physical buildout is reshaping energy markets, breaking political coalitions, and sending electricity bills climbing.
Show notes
AI's most dangerous property isn't inaccuracy. It's that wrong answers arrive with the same confidence as right ones, and humans aren't equipped to tell the difference.
Show notes
Every major AI story from the past week follows the same script: something goes wrong, the responsible party performs a choreographed response, and the actual consequences land somewhere else entirely. Not a conspiracy.
Show notes
In a single week, every thread of the AI story caught fire at once. Boycotts, chip controls, a five-year plan, frozen acquisitions, and an energy pledge. It stopped being a technology story. It became geopolitics.
Show notes
Tobacco, oil, and defense stocks all climbed while public opinion turned against them. The OpenAI boycott fits the same pattern — except for one structural difference.
Show notes
The gap between what we're spending on AI and what we're measuring from it isn't a mystery. It's a pattern — and it's playing out exactly the way it did with computers, electricity, and the dot-com bubble.
