    You are delusional to think next year is gonna be curtains for a trillion dollar industry backed by billionaire CEOs, military and government influence. The AI bubble won’t pop, if it ever does, until well into beyond the next decade.

      For the AI bubble to not pop, an AI company needs to make money off of AI first. Not raising investments. They need to actually make at least $1 off of using/selling AI services.

      This hasn’t happened yet, and I don’t think it ever will. The AI machines simply cost more to run than they produce, so when the investment money runs out, they’ll be shut down.

      In 2007: “How could the housing bubble pop? After all, the real estate industry is backed by billionaire CEOs, military, and government influence.”

      In 1999: “How could the dot com bubble pop? After all, the internet is backed by billionaire CEOs, military, and government influence.”

      In 1929: “How could the Stock Market crash? After all, international capitalism is backed by millionaire CEOs, military, and government influence.”

        I really hope you’re right and not me. I’ll check back in with a comment in a year from now so you and I can talk about what happened and what to do at an individual level next.
