great article BC 🙂
lots to think about AI and how it will impact our daily lives...
like the metaphor 🙂
I would also think
- who's running the show?
- who is providing the chips?
- who is providing cooling solutions?
- who is providing racks?
- who is providing power?
🤔
@Barcode：$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ 🚨🎙️🧠 META BUILDS THE AI VOICEBOX: The Loudest Bet Yet on Talking Machines 🧠🎙️🚨 Meta just acquired Play AI, the voice startup building hyper-realistic, AI-generated speech. No price was disclosed, but the deal was fast-tracked; the entire team joins Meta next week. I see it as a mission-critical move: Zuck’s building AI agents that speak, interact, and monetise, not just predict words. This isn’t about flashy avatars. It’s about owning the input and the output of intelligence. First they trained the brain (LLaMA). Now they’re giving it a mouth. 🧠 Why this matters Voice is the final unlock. It makes AI agents feel human, instantly usable across messaging, wearables, search, customer support, and creator tools. With Play AI, Meta now controls this pipeline internally, with no dependency on OpenAI’s Whisper or ElevenLabs. And Play AI isn’t an isolated buy. Meta now owns 49% of Scale AI, brought on Alexandr Wang to head their Superintelligence Lab, and recruited Ruoming Pang from Apple to lead foundation models. This is a full-stack land grab. Per The Verge, internal Meta townhalls show active recruiting from OpenAI and Anthropic. CTO Andrew Bosworth’s team denies $100M sign-on bonuses, but confirms multiple high-level signings are underway. Meta’s not just competing in the AI arms race; it’s luring the weapons engineers. 📊 Capex confirms conviction The Goldman Sachs hyperscaler capex chart says it all: Meta’s spend rises from ~$35B in 2024 to $52B+ by 2027. That’s part of a broader hyperscaler explosion; $1.15T forecast globally from 2025 to 2027, up from $477B across 2022 to 2024. Look at the visual, Meta’s capex slope is nearly parabolic. This isn’t maintenance. It’s an arms race. And AI voice agents don’t live on charm; they run on silicon, inference stacks, and massive distributed training infrastructure. Think $NVDA, $SMCI, $PLTR, and even $TSLA (Dojo inference) as critical beneficiaries. 📈 Earnings support the thesis From the March ’25 chart, Meta’s revenue hit $42.3B (+16.1%), but look where the capital is going: • $12.2B into R&D, up 21.8% YoY • $17.6B in operating income, 41.5% margin • 39.3% net income margin, with bottom-line profit up 34.6% This is a machine with cash flow firepower, and it’s pointing the cannon at long-term AGI infrastructure. Most firms scale back after peak earnings; Meta’s pressing harder. 📈 Earnings support the thesis From the March ’25 chart, Meta’s revenue hit $42.3B (+16.1%), but look where the capital is going: • $12.2B into R&D, up 21.8% YoY • $17.6B in operating income, 41.5% margin • 39.3% net income margin, with bottom-line profit up 34.6% This is a machine with cash flow firepower, and it’s pointing the cannon at long-term AGI infrastructure.

If it breaks through $725, I’m watching for a leg toward $745, then a possible push to $777 into late Q3. But this isn’t just a trade, this is about infrastructure dominance and the architecture of voice-led AI systems. 🧠 Metaphor to remember Meta isn’t building AI tools; it’s building the scriptwriters, voices, and stages for the entire AI theatre. Everyone else is still setting up the lights. 📢 Don’t miss out!
