Wall Street Panic: Howard Marks Warns of AI Bubble as Gold Hits Record High and Under-the-Radar Stocks Explode

Wall Street Panic: Howard Marks Warns of AI Bubble as Gold Hits Record High and Under-the-Radar Stocks Explode

Howard Marks’ famous memos have been required reading on Wall Street for decades – so much so that Buffett reportedly gave them to protégés. In reflecting on his career, Marks underscores that market psychology repeats. In a podcast and memo earlier this year he warned that the unbridled enthusiasm for AI – a “thing with no historical base” – is precisely the kind of “thrill of the new thing and fear of missing out” that often ends in a bubble benzinga.com. He emphasizes caution: today’s lofty tech valuations, mixed with geopolitical uncertainty, echo the dot-com era’s excesses. As Marks paraphrases JP Morgan research, today’s rich prices “often precede lackluster returns over the following decade.” Investors, he says, would be wise not to ignore those warning signs benzinga.com. Even as he commemorates 35 years of memos, Marks is blunt about unpredictability. He acknowledges the game changed – AI and new tech mean there’s “no limits” to hype – but his message is timeless: history suggests we should temper our euphoria. Analysts like him argue that if enough investors pile into the hot new story, the eventual correction can be painful. In short, even legends of value investing like Marks and Buffett

AI Models Are Scheming – Inside OpenAI’s Plan to Stop Deceptive AI Behavior

OpenAI’s Mega AMD Deal: How a 6‑Gigawatt AI Chip Alliance Could Reshape the Arms Race

OpenAI’s mission to build artificial general intelligence has become a capital‑intensive arms race. Training and running models like GPT‑5 or the video‑generating Sora require vast amounts of electricity and parallel compute. In March 2025, OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman unveiled a plan for Stargate, a U.S.‑based supercomputer project initially expected to cost $100 billion and deliver one gigawatt of computing capacity by late 2026. Since then, OpenAI has pursued multiple hardware partnerships, including deals with Nvidia, Broadcom, Oracle, and now AMD, to ensure that capacity is not constrained by a single supplierreuters.com. The AMD alliance marks a strategic pivot. Nvidia’s dominance over the AI accelerator market has created supply shortages and high prices, while export controls limit shipments to countries like China. AMD CEO Lisa Su has aggressively positioned the company as a credible alternative by releasing faster chips, adopting open‑source software like ROCm, and courting cloud providers and model developers. For AMD, winning OpenAI’s business is validation that its architectures can compete with Nvidia’s for large‑scale deployments.
