      I’m honestly hoping for a repeat. Hopefully Microsoft goes down this time too, since they’re heavily into AI. Twitter, Meta, Google and Amazon too. It’s really just the worst of the worst.

      This makes the dot-com bubble look like a kiddie pool - at least those companies were trying to build actual products, while today’s AI spending is burning through more money than the GDP of most countries just to have the biggest model with no clear path to profitability beyond “trust us bro”.

      This is no revelation. THEY KNOW. The play is obvious.

      Not one these investors wants to risk missing out on being the next Google or FaceBook or Twitter or Amazon. They know damned well the vast majority will fail. They’re gambling on not being the one left holding the bag.

      AI is here to stay, will continue to improve, and there will be a killer app, probably a dozen. My money is on life sciences, particularly medicine.
