    AI revenue needs to grow roughly fivefold or more to fund planned data center spending, one post argues

    AI "doesn't look like a bubble," the author says, but revenue still needs to catch up with spending plans. Their September 7 estimate: perhaps 18 months, if the growth rate continues.

    @ramezDoesn't look like a bubble. Even so, AI revenues need to go up another ~5x or more to pay for planned data center CapEx. Maybe 18 months, if this growth rate continues.
    @amirThere is some double counting here but AI native startup revenues are climbing. (Not profits tho)…
