Data center moratorium would thrust US into recession and cede AI leadership to China overnight
All US GDP growth comes from data center buildout driving AI productivity. Moratorium would cause recession, high unemployment, and immediate loss of global AI race to China (100 fission re…
Token-constrained world: no dark GPUs, physical limits on intelligence production
Unlike 2000's dark fiber, every GPU and token is fully utilized today; Google, Amazon, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic all report token constraints limiting revenue. Memory/logic wafers, power…

Memory/logic wafer scarcity creates structural bottleneck; Nvidia at decade-cheapest multiple
Token production is gated by memory wafers (Micron/Hynix single-digit multiples) and logic wafers (Nvidia 13x earnings for 70% growth). Physical supply constraints mean semiconductor capex…
Military integration bottleneck acute; Pico Grid 7x production, allied demand expanding
Autonomous systems (sensors, drones, robots, weapons) face critical integration challenges; Pico Grid's open infrastructure layer solves this for Pentagon/NATO with 7x production scaling in…

Computer use models leap from 30% to 95%+ accuracy unlocking legacy system automation
Pace's insurance agents now automate green-screen CLIs, desktop apps, and legacy web apps via computer use models. This breaks the API integration bottleneck for enterprises, enabling end-t…
Early innings: coding penetration low, knowledge work near zero; optimization coexists with 50-90% spend growth
Altimeter's 300-firm survey shows enterprises actively optimizing token spend but still projecting 50-90% YoY API growth because coding adoption is just starting and knowledge work automati…
Software multiples reset to market (22x); token-flow companies get AI premium, competitors face below-market risk
Software multiples compressed from premium to market multiples (~22x GAAP). Companies in the token flow (Snowflake, Databricks, ClickHouse) see query growth exceeding token growth and earn…

SpaceX evolving into full-stack AI compute: Starlink distribution + EWS + orbital data centers
SpaceX's unique ability to turn electrons into tokens at scale (Cursor, Anthropic deals) transforms it from launch provider to AI infrastructure platform. Elon Web Services (EWS) monetizes…
Series B/C frozen; early stage capital flows to token-flow companies, growth stage 'too hard'
Traditional software Series B/C ($5-15B valuations) have no takers because AI disruption risk is unpriceable. Altimeter focuses early stage on token-flow (compute, semiconductors, data cent…
