Alibaba plans to raise about $10.2 billion through a Hong Kong share placement, with the proceeds going entirely toward its AI strategy. The company wants to expand across AI chips, infrastructure, models and deployment. The interesting part is the timing: Alibaba’s latest quarter saw net profit fall 75%, partly because of much higher AI spending. It shows how aggressively major tech companies are willing to invest in AI—even when the short-term financial impact is significant. Do you think this kind of spending will give Alibaba a major long-term advantage, or is the AI infrastructure race becoming too expensive? submitted by /u/Pablomiller
