| | Big Tech is investing $8 trillion in new data centers. George Gilder, who called the iPhone, Netflix, and Amazon years ahead of the market, says that bet may be built on outdated technology.

Futurist George Gilder - who predicted the smartphone years before the iPhone launched - believes today's AI data centers are already obsolete. Three companies are quietly developing a way to process data that could do in minutes what current server farms do in hours, using up to 90% less energy.
Gilder calls it the 'Trillion Dollar Triangle' - and he thinks it could reshape the AI landscape the same way digital streaming buried Blockbuster.  |

In 1999, George Gilder predicted phones would outpower desktop computers. Apple's iPhone followed, and the stock climbed 12,107 percent.
He called streaming video over Blockbuster in 1990 and flagged an obscure online bookshop named Amazon in 1996. Netflix rose 118,823 percent at its peak; Amazon is up 250,300 percent counting splits.
Gilder now points to three converging technologies he calls the Trillion Dollar Triangle, which he believes could outweigh those past breakthroughs combined.  |
