I can't wait to buy a video accelerator and hard disks for cheap again. So I can't wait for the AI bubble to pop. The only problems is that the whole economy will tank at the same time...
End of natural financing availability seems certain to collapse the sector, and a more cannibalistic attitude in finance can reset the industry into more concentrated ownership, while also eliminating rational financing appetite. Aggression by META and SPCX should cutoff hyperscaler circular financing that would assist their ambitions to surpass them, or diminish their other circular investments.
Still, a global zionist supremacist establishment needs to preserve itself with robocops. $30b from UAE, and feeding Musk's electoral spending is "bailout mentality" that most of congress will still want to protect. US military buying Spacex/Meta compute rental is the simplest bailout mechanic. So, rampocalypse hell will continue until morale improves, will have full establishment backing.
As someone with plans to work in the software dev sector, it's just bad news no matter what. AI turns out to be magic, no jobs. Industry crashes because of the bubble, no jobs.
