Anyone thinking this means the technology will disappear will be sorely disappointed.

My pronostic of Q1 2027 is looking as good as ever!
Still time to inflate more. This season is still building up to the biggest and baddest. At the start of this season we hear names like Mythos and Glasswing but they don’t mean anything. Now we’ve learned they’re a new and faster way to discover vulnerabilities in software. The foreshadowing is building. We have the date, we know the upcoming catastrophe. In July, they will make public thousands of new software vulnerabilities. The internet will panic, software companies will spend billions on ai service to handle the damage. Anthropic will have a record IPO, followed by other AI companies. It’ll be YUGE. Stay tuned for the cliff hanger
When is this burst gonna happen?
Knowing that would mean the ability to make lots of money off of it but nobody knows for sure.
Not soon enough.
Pop already I can't wait to see the cryptoturds and the prompturds cry
I'd agree, except it'll ripple out to innocent regular people as well, just like the 2008 Great Recession, if not worse.
When regular people lose a lot of money, the richest get richer or are largely unaffected.
When the super rich lose enough money to actually hurt them, their interconnectedness with and control of everything that regular people need to survive means that millions if not billions of people will suffer immensely, up to and including dying because of it.
Wouldn't it be neat of a ton of really rich assholes, suddenly woke up poor?
Oh no, I was a billionaire now I'm slumming it with 700 million....
More common: I am 65 years old and my retirement just imploded.
Yes, but they’ll socialize the losses.
Well this poor bastard (me) will be waiting for the RAM, SSDs, and hard drives to come back down in price.
They won't. Corporations will never shed profits like that. They figure, regarding the jacked up price, that 'people have shown what they're willing to pay'.
There's always an optimal point between demand and price. Ignoring part of your customer base is a risky strategy. The gap will almost certainly be filled by competitors, such as the upcoming Chinese semiconductor industry.
The Chinese manufacturers will be happy to claim that gap in the market, and in a few years after they get established and ramp production they'll start undercutting everyone on those high margin data center products they abandoned consumers to focus on.
As long as someone is regulating companies, competition should, in theory, reduce prices.
Yup, but also they need to have a stock for it.
That's not gonna happen though. The rich will stay richer and the common pleb will be the ones carrying the weight of their failure.
If only this only impacted them.
The flow on effects of a major market crash are never isolated to just the stupid assholes building the bubble.
Let it brust, look what people do for money, power even to make their race first.
Get ready for GFC #2.
This one will be a lot worse than the sub-prime mortgage crisis, as AI investment has left many major banks, index funds, and most of the top 10 most valuable companies in the world heavily exposed, and the world governments are already at historic levels of debt - meaning a bail-out even if desired by those in power, may not be possible as it was in 2008.
Also there is more than 1 bubble that's pretty much fully inflated right now: for example, Realestate.
Further, household debt has never been this high and is well beyond 2007.
Then on top if this there's the record government debts in some countries (most notably, the US) and the weakening of trust in the USD thanks to a certain Mr D. Trump which might result in it losing its Reserve Currency status much faster, an event which would be massive, especially for the US Economy (it could very well trigger Hyperinflation).
When the AI bubble blows it will at the very least cause other bubbles to blow.
IMHO, this shit is going to be something of a level of the 2000 crash AND the 2008 Crash put together, possibly worse (especially in the US).
So on a scale of Great Depression to Dot-Com to 2008 Housing to Covid, where will this AI bubble burst land?
Let's see how many governments will end up with a D rating. The USA are probably a given but this might set a lot of major companies on fire so who knows who else will run out of money.
Of course China is laughing all the way to the bank. Their economy isn't super healthy right now but they aren't reliant on semiconductor companies that chained themselves to the AI racket. So they might weather the crash mostly unharmed and we'll all end up buying Loongson in the future because all of the x64 and ARM companies have folded.
Will it stop the invasion of data centers?
Hurry! The government should buy 50% of its value like Bernie says.
