In Episode 19 of Inevitable Wealth, Jacky and Guilian explore whether artificial intelligence is a bubble - or simply capitalism doing what it does best: evolving.

They unpack how global data center spending is set to surpass $590 billion in 2025, why this AI buildout is fundamentally different from the dot-com era, and how real profits and productivity (not speculation) are driving this cycle forward.

From the rise of trillion-dollar data infrastructure to the discipline required to stay invested through inevitable downturns, this episode examines how innovation, risk, and reward continue to shape the modern economy.

Listen in to understand why this AI revolution is less about hype and more about the hard work of progress.
