Read moreThe landscape of AI-assisted productivity is shifting at a breakneck pace, moving beyond simple chat interfaces into the era of agentic workflows. Whether you are a seasoned developer or a non-technical professional looking to streamline your day, the arrival of tools like Claude Code and its UI-driven sibling, Claude Cowork, marks a fundamental change in […]
Read more当AI大佬们还在为“万亿美金”的基础设施蓝图疯狂梭哈时,信用债市场却表现出一种近乎诡异的冷静,甚至到了让人毛骨悚然的程度。 万亿基建狂潮:AI正在重塑全球能源版图 现在的AI竞赛早已不是写写代码那么简单,而是硬生生的物理世界争夺战。从核电站供电到液冷取代空调,数据中心正在变成一种吞噬资源的新型“工业怪兽”。 “2025年,AI基础设施的投资规模已从‘数十亿美元’的量级跃升至‘万亿美元’。1月21日,美国总统特朗普在白宫宣布了‘星际之门’(Stargate Project)……计划四年内向美国AI基础设施投资5,000亿美元。” —— @LoneSchicksal 说白了,这种级别的资本开支已经超出了普通科技公司的范畴,它是国家级的能源与算力博弈。亚马逊、谷歌、Meta、微软都在疯狂砸钱,这背后的核心逻辑只有一个:谁掌握了基础设施,谁就掌握了未来十年的定价权。 核心矛盾:疯狂的资本开支 vs. 消失的信用溢价 令人费解的信号出现了:一边是AI领域史无前例的杠杆和支出,另一边是债券市场却表现得像是在过太平盛世。彭博美国综合指数的利差竟然达到了金融危机前的最窄水平。 “Bloomberg: Spreads on the benchmark Bloomberg US Aggregate Index… are currently at their tightest since at least before the Global Financial Crisis. This is despite a spike in equity volatility, as measured by the VIX index.” —— @nieuwfinder 市场现在的分歧在于:VIX指数(恐慌指数)在跳升,说明股市已经感到了寒意,但信用债利差却在装死。这种“股债背离”通常意味着风险被严重低估了。要么是信用市场认为这些万亿投资能瞬间转化为利润,要么就是市场正在集体“装睡”。 老炮策略:紧盯电力与液冷,防范利差“回光返照” 在这种极端的市场环境下,博弈的胜负点不在于AI模型本身,而在于那些支撑AI跑起来的“卖水人”。 如果大基建落地,就死盯着英伟达GB200产业链、液冷技术和独立电力供应方。这是目前确定性最高的“物理刚需”。 如果信用利差开始走阔(Spreads […]
Read moreFor years, the tech industry has operated on a simple premise: if you have a niche problem, there is a $9.99-a-month subscription waiting to solve it. But a new trend is emerging on Hacker News that threatens this equilibrium. Developers are no longer just ‘building’ apps; they are ‘vibecoding’ them—using LLMs to stitch together personal […]
Read moreClaude Code promised to revolutionize the developer workflow, but as the dust settles, users are finding that "vibe coding" at scale comes with a significant interest rate. The promise of an AI that writes its own codebase is meeting the cold reality of terminal flickering, broken scrollback, and a mounting pile of technical debt that […]
