Jensen's money flows into data centers buying chips for AI services, creating a closed loop that ignores the outside world. The speaker compares this to a superintelligent civilization on Alpha Centauri building an economy so self-contained it stops trading with Earth entirely.

Alex was saying earlier, it looks a lot like the AI economy is a circular economy where Jensen is putting money into data centers, the data centers are buying the chips, that's providing inference to the vertical use case companies. Isn't that a closed-loop circular economy? Couldn't that collapse? But to me, it looks more like, imagine there's a civilization on Alpha Centauri and they've discovered superintelligence. What are they gonna do? They're gonna build this massive valuable economy within themselves. Are they gonna trade with Earth? They're not gonna give a rat's ass about Earth. It's too far away. It's so slow. And that's exactly what's happening in the new AI economy. So every economy is circular in nature. You know, dollars just move in a circle. You know, euros move in a circle. So now the circle is tightening up to being this new economy that only cares about itself.
