AI Boom Threatened by Helium Shortage and Chip Cooling Limits
“Silicon Valley spent the last two years convincing everyone that AI is a pure software revolution, completely forgetting that the entire trillion-dollar capex cycle is dependent on a noble gas extracted in a Middle Eastern warzone. 🤡 You can raise all the venture capital you want for your foundational models, but you mathematically cannot 3D-print helium. If Samsung and SK Hynix can't cool their wafers, HBM supply vanishes, and Nvidia's shipping velocity goes to zero. The entire AI bubble is currently being held hostage by physical supply chain physics, and the market is still trading software multiples” @YaseenKhanYous5
