AI supercycle analysis: application diffusion, not infrastructure, is the near-term bottleneck
menhguin · x · 2026-09-03
The author argues recent policy developments will cool speculation short term but matter less long term. He lays out a framework: if AI usage diffuses slowly, the application layer is the bigger bottleneck over infrastructure; if diffusion is fast, infrastructure becomes the constraint. He believes AI usage diffusion is the real near-term bottleneck, citing historical precedent of overly restrictive regulations killing nuclear power and public infrastructure projects.
