said calls to slow AI development are unlikely to stop large tech firms from
pursuing financing and capex. Speaking on financing by hyperscale cloud
providers and data center operators, he called them long-term funding plans —

most advanced models over safety concerns; the sector has seen valuation
pullbacks and rising investor concern over credit risk and whether AI
infrastructure capex will deliver adequate returns.
