The FT reports investors are dumping data centre bonds, with debt from AI infrastructure providers and neoclouds like CoreWeave sinking to increasingly stressed levels — a 'Darwin moment' for AI borrowers.
The poster pushes back, recalling the FT's similarly negative story on CoreWeave right before its IPO over a minor legal contract issue, arguing media focus can overly sour investor sentiment in the short term (citing Virgin Galactic as the opposite case).
