In this episode, venture capitalist Samir Kumar breaks down what most people don’t understand about the current AI boom, from massive infrastructure spending and data center expansion to the hard questions around profitability, sustainability, and long-term value.
Drawing on historical parallels like the dot-com and real estate bubbles, Kumar explains why AI feels different—and where the risks still lie.
The conversation explores the AI arms race among major tech players, the race toward artificial superintelligence, and why energy consumption, efficiency, and governance may become the defining challenges of the next decade.
