Nvidia's $500 Billion Gamble (& The AI Bubble)
Nvidia just made one of the biggest bets in tech history: $500 billion over four years to build “AI Factories.” These aren’t normal data centers. Instead of handling thousands of workloads, they’ll exist purely to produce one thing: tokens, the core fuel of large language models like ChatGPT and Claude. Imagine a factory that takes in electricity and spits out intelligence. That’s Nvidia’s vision. But massive spending doesn’t come without risk. The last time a company went all-in on infrastructure like this, it was Intel, and that didn’t end well. The parallels are eerie: overconfidence, exploding demand projections, and the assumption that a boom never ends. Meanwhile, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are building their own AI chips to cut Nvidia out entirely. And regulators from the US to the EU are circling. Nvidia may dominate now, but half a trillion dollars can turn fast from a power move to a cautionary tale.
