AI Infrastructure Arms Race Heats Up
News continues to show AI infrastructure investment accelerating, with hyperscalers expanding capacity, strong earnings from data center suppliers (Applied Digital, Applied Optoelectronics), and projections that hyperscalers will dominate two-thirds of data center capacity by 2031. No articles report pauses, cancellations, or capex declines that would match the falsification criteria; the Bahrain data center strike is a physical/geopolitical disruption rather than evidence of a hyperscaler pullback.
What would prove this wrong
Hyperscalers pause, cancel, or scale back announced data center projects (including Stargate-related builds) and capital spending on AI infrastructure declines rather than grows.
