- Banks that underwrote debt for AI data centers are now trying to sell off those very same loans onto other investors.
- The shift from underwriting to offloading the same debt raised industry concern, with the story drawing 242 points and 193 comments on Hacker News as commenters flagged the reversal as a risk signal for AI infrastructure bets.
