I thought the AI bubble was supposed to pop in two weeks a month ago?

Nah, it must have already happened, I saw a video on YouTube that said it was imminent a year ago.

the market can remain irrational longer than I can stay solvent

Nobody with a minimum of credibility says that. Everyone says this is clearly a bubble and yet it could go on another couple of years. Nobody is timing it. But if you want to deny the obvious by numbers go ahead

I don't think Zitron will ever admit he's been wrong about LLMs
camillomiller•4m ago
Because he‘s not?

Zitron's screeds reminds me of all the analysts who predicted the collapse of TSLA based on the fundamentals, and recommended shorting it. How does that saying go? "markets can remain irrational a lot longer than you can remain solvent".

There is an immense, coordinated, desperate effort to keep the biggest party in the history of the financial system going, to pour enough fuel into the engine that escape velocity may be achieved against the forces of mathematics.

I mean the companies are delaying the inevitable. We have companies putting limit on the monthly token spend. Just 1% (you see what I did) of the companies can spend fearlessly on AI. In time most of the companies will be burnt out of their funding. I hope AI can make a case to be affordable.

This year a lot of companies got the green light to buy AI subscriptions for 1 year.

The fun begins the next financial year when leaders need to take stock and justify the costs.

Income by implemented features, losses by bugs and savings by personal. Sticks and stones may break even my bones, but ledger words will never hurt me.
