Academy's Tchir Fears AI Debt May Trigger Sharp Selloff

• Concerns over 'faux liquidity' in credit markets, citing rapid widening of Treasury and European bond yields.
• Warns of a potential cascade sell-off, where a 'trickle of selling' in less liquid assets (like EM or specific compute bonds) could become a 'bucket getting dumped' and drag down broader markets.
• Identifies three key risks for the AI debt boom: funding availability, actual effectiveness/cost of AI implementation, and the sustainability of first-mover advantage.
