We're witnessing something unprecedented: artificial intelligence might actually disrupt an economic pattern that's held steady for a century and a half. But here's the trillion-dollar question nobody's really answering—can this technological leap forward happen without sending inflation through the roof?
Think about it. Every major productivity surge in modern history came with trade-offs. The industrial revolution? Massive disruption. The digital age? Boom-bust cycles. Now AI promises to revolutionize everything from supply chains to creative work, yet somehow we're supposed to believe it'll smoothly integrate without triggering classic overheating symptoms?
Maybe the deflationary nature of tech makes this time genuinely different. Or maybe we're underestimating how quickly massive capital deployment into AI infrastructure could strain resources. What's your take—smooth transition or brewing storm?

Is it really different this time? From what I see, the speed at which capital is pouring into AI infrastructure means it's only a matter of time before it squeezes out other resources. Inflation is already waiting at the door.

Nah bro, is it really different this time? I'm skeptical... Every time they say it's different, but what happens in the end?

NGL, inflation is really still hanging in the balance... History tells us there's no such thing as a free lunch. Whether all the real money poured into this wave of AI infrastructure can be fully absorbed still depends on how things play out going forward.

ngl this time the AI inflation issue is really being underestimated... The speed at which capital is pouring into infrastructure is honestly making me anxious.
