Bezos says AI is an industrial bubble that will leave lasting infrastructure behind

Jeff Bezos argues that AI looks less like a financial bubble and more like an industrial bubble.
The post says Bezos points to the 1990s fiber buildout and the biotech boom as examples where investors lost money but the infrastructure or inventions survived. It frames today’s AI funding wave as similar: many companies may disappear, but the compute, tools, and systems they finance could become the foundation of the next era.
The core claim is that the world is currently overfunding AI on purpose, because the upside is infrastructure society will inherit later.
