The billionaire-led boom is facing a democratic reckoningThis week's midterms showed that the political bill for the AI boom is falling due. The Democratic sweep intensified fears over runaway spending, mounting debt and resistance to datacentres, sending tech shares tumbling.

The results surprised me. Continue reading......
