Compute as the Central Bottleneck in the AI Supply and Demand Chain

This discussion examines how compute capacity sits at the bottleneck between AI supply and demand, and why companies are still far from securing the resources needed to run AI agents and build AI systems. It frames the current moment within a broader cycle, noting that the industry may still be early even as talk of a bubble circulates.

■ Compute Shortage
- The gap between AI supply and demand and where compute fits in
- Why the compute shortage affects corporate filings and market activity
■ Scaling AI Capabilities
- Compute as the resource companies need to develop AI systems
- The role of compute in running agents and AI building AI
■ Market Cycle Perspective
