> **Visual Context:** **Caption:** A stacked bar chart titled "AI Cap Ex at Hyperscalers: 2020 to 2026" shows capital expenditures (in millions of dollars) from Meta, Oracle, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Coreweave, rising from roughly $90B in 2020 to a projected $580B+ in 2026, with an annotation noting these six companies have collectively invested over $1.73 trillion in cap ex over the last six years—largely in AI.

**Connection to the post:** The chart visually underscores the post's thesis by illustrating the massive scale of hyperscaler AI capital expenditure, which has surged exponentially (more than 6x from 2020 to 2026), helping explain how this spending wave is distorting corporate financial statements, capital bases, earnings, and cash flows.

> "Wiki says I should contribute to my taxable account instead of my 403b/Roth 403b?

I thought my order of investments would be Employer Match > HSA > Roth IRA > 403b/Roth 403b > Taxable. However, the wiki states the following:  A reasonable rule-of-thumb is to consider investing in a taxable account if the product of the extra costs and the number of years you will stay in the plan exceeds one and a half times your combined federal and state tax rates on qualified dividends over your working career.  https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/401%28k%29  The extra costs (403b admin fee) are 0.6% of assets. I plan to stay with my employer for 20+ years (currently age 37). My combined federal and state tax rate on qualified dividends is 2.75% (0% federal, 2.75% state) and I don't see that changing; my pay will basically just increase with inflation and I don't want to give up my position--it's my dream job."
