Market sentiment toward AI is cooling as Citadel’s Ken Griffin labels the sector a 'bubble,' while Meta faces a setback with the suspension of its Muse AI chat-sharing feature due to privacy flaws. This combination of macro skepticism and micro-regulatory risk pressures high-multiple AI beneficiaries, suggesting a rotation away from pure-play AI speculation toward more established tech cash flows. Samsung and SK Hynix are upgrading Chinese facilities for advanced NAND memory chips despite US export controls, indicating robust underlying demand for AI infrastructure. This development supports the semiconductor supply chain thesis, particularly for memory chipmakers, and suggests that geopolitical restrictions are not yet stifling capacity expansion in key markets.
