AI Replacing Middle Management & Infrastructure Bottlenecks
Multiple threads warn that AI is visibly shrinking middle management, while semiconductor substrates (not energy) may be the binding constraint on AI infrastructure expansion through 2028.
What we know
An account on X RT'd another account on X's warning that AI is "shrinking the need for middle management" with observable real-world evidence and rising layoff numbers. Another account on X flagged SemiAnalysis CEO Dylan Patel's argument that semiconductor substrates could be a bigger AI bottleneck than electricity through 2027–2028. Meanwhile another account on X noted that AI neolabs are structurally similar to WeWork — locking in GPU compute early and reselling at 2–3× markup as the real business model.
