Wall Street calls the AI compute deals circular and means it as a warning. Nico's read: ask who the warning is coming from. If these companies are lending to each other, banks are not in the middle and nobody outside is taking a cut. That is a shared ecosystem of companies profiting off one another and supporting one another, financially independent of markets. The complaint may be about position rather than risk.
