"You realise how much you’ve taken for granted — and now you have to fight. And that’s where we are with the planet, too. It’s an important lesson for us in America, and it’s an important lesson for us on Earth. You can’t just hope everything will be alright. You’ve got to actually take a stand."

This year America’s large tech firms will spend nearly $400bn on the infrastructure needed to run AI models. Investors always flock to promising technologies, but this rush is more extreme than many past booms
What if the $3trn AI investment boom goes wrong?
