So XAI is doing similar things.

And incidentally, in terms of how...

Deeply intertwined, these companies are.

Its biggest customer on the XAI side happens to be Anthropic, who's buying massive compute off XAI to train its Claude models so that they can sell more tokens to you and I.

Yeah, so I think you're referring to the sort of the money merry-go-round or vendor financing that's...

was quite prevalent in the dot-com boom.

So what that means is you're basically lending your customers money to buy your product.

So it's artificial demand, and that was one of the things that popped the bubble back then.
