The Teaser Period: Why the AI Boom Is Hitting a Reset Wall

Major tech companies have made massive compute commitments to fuel AI development, with trillions in spending obligations coming due in 2027-2028, creating a potential "reset wall" similar to the 2008 mortgage crisis. The article argues that just as subprime borrowers couldn't afford mortgage payments after introductory rates expired, AI companies may struggle to justify these enormous capital expenditures if they haven't generated sufficient returns by the time bills come due. The comparison suggests the AI boom, like the housing bubble, contains a mathematically predetermined breaking point built into its financial structure.
