Bosses of September, not the CPI

Avoided CPI, avoided FOMC, but didn’t expect the real big shots to show up on the weekend:
Dario published an article “We Must Pace the Frontier,” arguing for slowing the pace of frontier AI. CEOs from other frontier labs have also openly agreed. The market’s favorite ghost story—AI capex hitting a peak—can be the main theme again. Such comments were always enough to trigger a big drop.

It’s still too early to say whether this is a narrative shock or a fundamental thesis being rewritten. Whether the labs will truly slow down in the end is anyone’s guess. But there’s no need to feed anyone motivational platitudes. The line “AI will definitely grow long-term, so don’t be afraid of a stock price decline” contains almost no investment information. The market has already priced in the high-speed, rapid growth—its tolerance is nearly zero. This time, it’s the very core of the industry speaking up themselves: the speed may genuinely need to be controlled. Even if capex ends up not dropping even by a single dollar, the statement itself is already enough for the market to revalue its ultimate-outcome expectations once.
