The Inevitability Vector: $500B Proof
Half a trillion dollars says there is no going back. The only way out is through.
Sometimes, you just have to look at the CapEx.
Major tech companies are spending half a trillion dollars annually on AI infrastructure. They are buying nuclear power plants. They are laying undersea cables. They are building data centers the size of cities.
This is not a fad. This is not “crypto in 2021.” This is the Inevitability Vector.
Defining the Future of Computing
This level of investment means that AI is defining the future of computing for the next 50 years. We are replacing the CPU with the GPU (and the TPU/LPU). We are replacing “Deterministic Code” with “Probabilistic Inference.”
No Other Way Through
For your career, this means there is “no other way through.” You cannot wait for the pendulum to swing back. It won’t.
You cannot hope that “classic software jobs” will return. They won’t.
The only way is Through.
- Lean into the curiosity.
- Embrace the chaos.
- Learn the new tools.
Don’t be the person yelling at the steam engine. Be the person building the railroad.
