Honestly I find this darkly hilarious. The circlejerk is becoming more and more obvious. I’m going to be surprised if the bubble doesn’t pop within the next 6 months or so - definitely before the end of the year.
All it took for this to happen was:
skyrocketing energy prices
skyrocketing hardware prices
skyrocketing water usage
the effective priceout of PC/homelab enthusiasts and hobbyists which will probably destroy much of the community, and thus most of the consumer-oriented hardware manufacturers
turning the US economy into a house of cards
sharply accelerated enshitification of all major search engines (in the interest of pushing people to use LLM bullshit for no good reason, when a perfectly suitable and deterministic alternative already existed and was deployed at scale everywhere)
flagrantly ignoring licensing and usage terms for basically any and all open source software projects hosted anywhere on the internet
the hollowing out of software engineering as a discipline, the collapse of the hiring prospects of fresh grads/juniors because “ai can do that”, and the creation of a generational gap in staffing across huge swathes of the tech industry writ large
the (even more) accelerated enshitification of social media as it becomes a series of gigantic LLM bot farms talking to each other
it’s rather different than 2008, because credit default swaps were just a bag holder thing, whereas these massive data centers are not only a huge amount of sunk cost capital, but also have extremely high OpEx.
that said, I would be 0% surprised if our Captains of Industry (🥴) manage to convince the orange regime to just shell out trillions of our fucking taxpayer dollars to them because line go up
and if they do, I hope all the little baby Molotov cocktails that will be born have wonderful, bright, and impactful lives 🥰
And did nothing wrong - assuming he’s not a scapegoat, and I think he is. Evidence chain of custody has been an absolute shitshow through the entire existence of the case.
It will not go away, but billions if not trilions of dollars will.
You can probably make a sustainable business out of AI agents! Having something like Claude Code is pretty neat. I love having it at my side. Would I pay the business rates for it? Hell nah. They need to bring down their cost, gain efficiency. Maybe increase reliability while they are at it.
There is no infinite growth as long as AI doesn’t learn to act reliably, and on its own. According to experts this is anywhere from 10 to 100 years away. As someome with a CS major, I tend to agree.
Homelabs are just a bit more finicky to build now IMO, I got a thinkpad t14s gen1 with a broken screen for 100€, coming today. If I can’t fix it, it’ll become part of my homelab (i7 & 32GB).

All it took for this to happen was:
What a time to be alive.
Jensen can suck my Huang.
Don’t forget the open outright theft of virtually all digitized media and content produced by humanity.
If you or I do it, we’re criminals.
If you or I do it at scale and scam a bunch of Business Minds into thinking it’s the best thing since sliced bread, we’re trillionaires.
Make it make sense.
What if AI is already too big to fail?
Mario’s brother is a plumber
And a goddamn national hero.
