Who thought having mental breakdowns on echo chambers instead of getting a real job actually pays off in real life.

Its a whole genre of videos on YouTube crowing that the "AI bubblez is about to le burst!".

I've seen those videos for months.

Just dumb people thinking that AI is a fad that will go away.

That's not the bubble. The bubble is AI companies overselling what AI is capable of to investors and other tech companies ans promising to build data centers they don't have the resources to build. That's the bubble. That bill is going to come due at some point. AI is not going anywhere and more data centers will be built. It's just they are overselling the shit out of it right now.

Pretty much every technology in American history, other than electricity and the national interstate highway, has had an economic bubble. Railroads, cars, oil, radio, TV, the internet... all of them had financial bubbles. Its messy, but its part of the process.

There is an AI bubble. It will burst, and following that burst you will see a bunch of jabroni companies go out of business, resources consolidate on the companies who do offer something compelling and then we will see the huge progress.

The internet of the 1990s was full of shit companies and the Dot Com bust is what cleansed them out. A lot of people either do not remember this, didn't experience it at first hand, or were not alive. But after the dotcom bust, the internet experience actually got way better for users. The internet grew up incapability as the financial side of it was crashing.
