It was the recent estimation that hyperscale LLMs need to earn $6 trillion a year to break even. I don't think governments can afford six trillion for their surveillance states and robot armies.

That is the recent news that harbingers a potential 2026 AI bubble burst.

Open AI has been hemorrhaging money and taking on vast debt for a while. That's not really news.
