>AI is also not a fad.

I'm not convinced. I've heard all the justifications and how it saved someone's marriage (too bad it ended that other relationship).

The numbers don't line up. The money from consumers isn't there, the money isn't actually there in B2B. It's not going to last. Refulations will catch up and strain things further once the US isnt in a grifter's administration and people get tired of not having jobs.Its a huge pincer attack on 4 fronts.

After the crash and people need to put their money where their mouth is, let's see how much people truly value turning their brains off and consuming slop. There will be cool things from it, but not in this current economy.

Until then, The bubble will burst.this isn't the 10's anymore and the us government doesn't have the money to bail out corporate this time.

Its not just a battle between companies, its also a battle between countries.

USA vs. China. If USA stops research on AI right now, China will leapfrog even further.

And companies like Google and Microsoft can easily affort the current AI spend.

I agree with that take--a lot of tech stuff was buoyed by investment capital and everyone thought it was great until they had to start paying full price for it. Those massive data centers full of expensive, electricity and water sucking hardware are not going to last if they have to be fully funded by customers.
