### @AI-demand-durability — Estimate — MIT and analyst research plus the CFOs' own words
Microsoft's CFO addressed the investor 'disconnect' between capex and revenue growth; Amazon's CFO said 'CapEx growth meaningfully outpaces revenue growth' with a 6-24-month monetization lag. MIT found ~95% of enterprise AI pilots show no measurable P&L impact, though S&P 500 companies reporting quantifiable benefits doubled from ~13% to ~25%. NVIDIA's '$3-4 trillion by 2030' framing is promotional narrative. Apple spends ~3% of revenue on capex, calling AI 'incremental' — hyperscale building is a choice, not inevitable.
