It will be interesting to see, but stories have come out for a while about some thing will pop the bubble, and a big recession has been right around the corner for at least a decade. What stage is this bubble in the progression to the .com pop, months, a year? Or is this different, with more profitable companies investing in infrastructure, rather than speculative startups without clear revenue plans? That was part of the take MMM made and I want to be hopeful. It reminded me about my circle of control, reduce attachment to outcomes beyond it, but do what I want within my circle. mrmoneymustache.com/2026/09/25/will-the-ai-bubble-destroy-our-retirement/

I am much more concerned about the Getty bankrupcy, because that was a major player in their market.

Character.ai have probably just played your typical startup game and lost it.

At some point, those now hopelessly dependent on these companies services will just have to pay what it costs to provide those services, at a profit.

Obviously these companies want to kick that can as far down the road as they can, as it should be cheaper in the future. Only that's not happening fast, and the debt is piling up.

Didn't all of their devs get poached by Google after being bought out?

The smart ones all saw the writing on the wall after the founders left with a fat stack of cash in hand
