Could AI be the next railroad boom?
20 segments
the similarities between the railroads
and AI,
the AI boom at the moment. What you see
with the railroads is a massive building
program. Um and what you're doing with

creating demand. So, when you build a
railroad through a place uh there's
nobody there at first. But [laughter]
when when when the when the railroad
arrives, they're there. So, the value of
the land that you're linking to the East
Coast is massively increased. But
there's a lot of speculative building,
there's a lot of borrowing of capital.
>> And there are a lot of bankruptcies.
