 Is AI a bubble?

AI infrastructure investing is the question defining private capital in 2026 and most fund managers are answering it wrong.

In this episode of Making Billions, Ryan Miller asks the sharper question: where in the AI capital stack do contracted, asset-backed cash flows actually live? 

This episode delivers the framework every serious allocator needs. Not hype. A five-rung capital stack separating infrastructure money from bubble money and a scoring tool making it impossible to confuse the two in a live deal.

The pattern has played out before. In 1999, dot-com equity was vaporized, trillions gone. 

The fiber laid during that bubble still carries traffic 25 years later. The bubble lived in the equity. The durable money lived in the infrastructure. 

AI is following the exact same pattern in real time. Allocators who see both things at once come out of this era wealthy.
