The Industrial AI Cycle

November 10, 2025 by David Thomas

The AI boom isn’t speculative anymore.

It’s operational.

Google’s plan to restart a nuclear reactor in Iowa isn’t a marketing play, it’s a necessity.

Compute now consumes energy at an industrial scale, and the firms that need it most are no longer waiting for permission.

Every major cycle in history has ended when capital stopped meeting real infrastructure.

This one is doing the opposite, it’s building new infrastructure to meet capital.
