访谈聚焦 AI 投资导致的资源挤出效应与供应瓶颈：ISM 制造业报告显示除两个月外电气设备已连续五年被列为“短缺”，数据中心扩张愿以高价锁定订单至 2030 年，使天然气涡轮与电网接入设备在全球范围供不应求。近年类似情况在住房与基建中反复出现，体现 2010 年代长期投资不足的累积代价。关税水平不足以推动本土大规模产能建设，却足以迫使进口商转向印度等新供应国，显著提高交易成本、关系建立成本与供应链重组成本，而未显著改善实际商品供应。
当前经济呈现双轨结构：与大科技和 AI 相关的板块表现强劲，而其余行业处于“停滞滞胀”状态，招聘疲弱、成本压力沉重、老龄化推动医疗就业长期刚性增长。大型 AI 企业的市值溢价与缺乏明确生产率提升案例并存，企业往往以裁员“包装”为 AI 增效。股市作为融资与生产的引擎推动了科技估值扩张，但若 AI 使用场景无法证明价值，将与历史上互联网或移动端一样出现脱节风险，可能触发投资回落与估值收缩。反复“逢跌必买”的心态由十多年宽松经验累积而来，但在单一增长动力占优、经济缺乏多元支撑时潜在风险加大。
AI 环境与全球供应链在能源需求上深度交汇：天然气涡轮已多年售罄，各国因主权与安全压力而争抢算力与能源。中国竞争暴露美国在飞机制造与半导体装备等先进制造上的能力弱化，供应链“肌肉萎缩”风险可能使安全与产业链进一步受压。与此同时，欧洲方向未定、产业受中美夹击，新兴市场在中国依赖与国家主导产业保护间摇摆，构成全球结构性不确定核心。
The discussion highlights AI-driven crowding effects and supply bottlenecks: ISM manufacturing data shows electrical equipment has been listed as “in short supply” for five straight years except for two months, as data center builders pay premium prices and lock in orders through 2030, tightening global availability of natural gas turbines and grid-connection gear. Similar patterns appear in housing and infrastructure, reflecting chronic underinvestment since the 2010s. Tariffs are too low to trigger major US reshoring but high enough to force importers to shift to suppliers in countries like India, raising transaction and relationship-building costs and prompting supply chain reorientation without materially improving goods supply.
The economy exhibits a bifurcated structure: sectors tied to big tech and AI remain robust, while the rest show “creaking” stagflation, weak hiring, high living costs, and demographic pressure as healthcare employment rises persistently. Major AI firms’ valuation premia coincide with limited evidence of productivity gains, and layoffs are often framed as AI-driven efficiency improvements. Equity markets, as engines of financing and production, amplify tech valuations, yet if AI use cases fail to demonstrate value, outcomes may mirror earlier internet or mobile gaps, triggering investment pullbacks and valuation corrections. A decade-long “buy-the-dip” psychology persists, but with growth concentrated in a single sector, structural vulnerability rises.
AI intersects with global supply chains mainly through energy demand: natural gas turbines are sold out for years as national-security concerns drive countries to secure data center capacity and power. China’s rise exposes weakening US capability in advanced manufacturing such as aircraft and semiconductor fabs, raising concerns over industrial “muscle loss.” Europe faces strategic ambiguity under pressure from both the US and China, while emerging markets weigh Chinese integration against domestic industrial protection, forming a core axis of global structural uncertainty.
