IMO the AI bubble is just a symptom, and the underlying bubble, the VC system and Wall Street will only pop together with the US itself.
If the AI bubble pops, people like Altman will be safe out already working on the next bubble, quantum or something. They’ll “lose billions” but will still be trillionaires, and the only discernible result of the bubble popping will somehow be even more mergers, acquisitions and layoffs.
Agreed, I’m not saying it’s going to collapse tomorrow, I’m saying that the AI oligarchs will not feel the AI bubble pop until it does. That said, the USSR was eternal until it was not.
Yes, but look at the bright side - The bubble is going to pop sooner than later
