I blame the news cycle and blatant market manipulation that goes unpunished. Making ground breaking technology isn't enough anymore. It has to be "Machine God Will destroy us all" level tech to make the headlines and subsequently make the market truly react in a way they can profit from it.

Someone could literally be on the verge of fusion energy and it wouldn't make headlines as much as AI does today. It's all about the marketing and hype, and they are going to make this AI bubble grow as big as possible then eject in time to save themselves.
