New comment by jimmypk in "AI could be the end of the digital wave, not the next big thing"

The Perez model contains a falsification test the article doesn't apply to its own thesis. In Perez's framework, the installation phase is characterized by financialization, frothy infrastructure bets, and capital rushing toward uncertain new technology—exactly the behavior we see with US AI investment (hyperscalers committing $500B+ to uncertain infrastructure, speculative valuations). Deployment phases look like industrial efficiency gains and normal returns. By those criteria, US AI investment is behaving like an installation-phase bet, not late-deployment optimization.

The article's US-China comparison quietly reveals the prediction that would follow from the thesis: if the Perez 'late deployment' framing is right, then the Chinese model—lean, industrial, healthcare and education application, grounded in near-term ROI—is betting correctly on where we are in the curve and should outperform over the next decade. That's a concrete, testable claim that would validate or falsify the argument independently of whether AI constitutes a 'new surge.'
