      Speaking as an ancient person that has survived 40+ years of a capitalist hellscape, Yes. The bubble always bursts.

      It is a thing that bubbles do.

        I remember the wall coming down and Denmark winning the UEFA cup in '92…

        I think the AI bubble is gonna be so much worse than dotcom or housing in 2008. To me this AI bullshit is the dotcom on steroids.

          And we won’t even get infrastructure out of this. Just a bunch of half finished data centers & $500B in currently warehoused specialized GPUs that can’t easily be repurposed.

      I suspect this might be worse due to the amount of money being thrown around. As much as I want the companies responsible for the stupid bubble to go bankrupt, there’s a lot of money from pension and investment funds, so that’s going to hurt a lot of people who had nothing to do with that.
