When did you realize AI is not a bubble?
>>
Never thought it was one

>>62634673
Then why does it look like one
>>
AI cultists will never, ever convince me that it's normal or sustainable for a SINGLE hardware manufacturer to have a market cap twice the size of the GDP of the entire country of Brazil. I'm not a megalomaniac like Burry so I won't pretend to be able to magically predict when or how the bubble will pop, but it IS a bubble and it will pop.
>>
>>62634715
market cap and GDP are completly different things. Net wealth of Brazil (comparable to market cap) is 4.6T which is comparable to NVIDIA
>>
>>62634723
Ok, so Nvidia "only" has a market cap comparable to the net wealth of a country with the 7th largest population in the world and 10th largest economy in the world. My mistake, but I'm still not putting my money anywhere near it.

But it is. Because revenue is still lower than the infrastructure cost. And when suddenly investor money stops flowing, all those companies that were scaling due to their circular spending will not be able to sustain their current scale. Market will be flooded with hardware that no one can pay for and that retail probably has no use of either. Companies that relied on AI and integrated it too much in their workflows will now face slowing down, restructuring or very high costs to maintain the structure they set. Everyone with a fried brain will need to continue to output as much as they did in the slop era. Small businesses that relied on AI to skip some expenses won't be able to do it anymore.
And everyone With SP500 or NASDAQ in their portfolio/401k/pension will get rekt, so people that were suppose to retire won't be able to, and compete with other people for jobs.

That is at least how I see it, but I'm an average retard.
>>
>>62634673
I'm in a corporate environment. I just don't see the value add, people let it summarize meetings and never look at the notes again. Not a single line of code in production written by AI (as far as I can tell). I've worked here pre-Ai, output is consistent across time. I just don't see how you can value your company at $30 trillion revenue on the claim that it will automate knowledge work and boots on the ground I can't see anything being automated. In my mind that's the truest definition of a bubble, when the universal perception has diverged from objective reality.

ai is a tool in the same way internet was
most businesses use internet to create a shitty website that may even show a proper address and a phone number
however, there are tons of ready integrated solutions that enable you to actually sell shit online
in the same way most businesses will use AI to host a shitty customer service bot that will respond with perl code if prompted
and there will be a ton of ready AI integrated solutions that will enable you to transform how you do your business end to end
AI is not a silver bullet just like internet was for the simple reason that they have the same exact gate to transformative usefullness: integration
only triple digit IQ businesses will be able to profit

There are essentially three areas of the "AI bubble".
1) Chips.. Nvidia, SK Hynix, that kind of thing.
2) Hyperscalers, those whose money is used to build the datacenters e.g. Mag7
3) The frontier labs, Anthropic and OpenAI.
Chips might be the most overvalued, but it is hard to see that demand should go down anytime soon, or that supply increase enough..
The hyperscalers are not really in a value bubble, they are investing a lot of money into these datacenters, but the market are putting a lot of value on that investment activity. It is also hard to imagine these datacenters not being in use - at any timeframe.
Anthropic and OpenAI are probably the most likely to be in a bubble (because there is a lot of unknowns about a potentially profitable business model), when Nvidia or Microsoft etc. buys into these companies, they value them at around $1 trillion each.
Which is a lot, but it's not a crazy number. OpenAI and Anthropic combined essentially have the same Marketcap as SpaceX..

Are you not keeping up with whats happening? Get with the times unc.

In 2025 the chinese robot olympics they were slow and rudimentary. 2026 they can run faster than usain bolt. The tiangong ultra ran it in like 9 seconds this year (100M).

Do you understand whats happening? These AI chips will be powering killer robots that will be used to initiate world wars that have legions of millions of robots that are all using nvidia chips, amd chips, arm chips, all using billions, perhaps even trilliosn of dollars of chips and ai company training in total

All countries will need to spend trillions on these robots if they dont want to be steamrolled by the country with the most of them.

Defence aside these robots are actually going to get to the point where they are more fluid than humans and all manual labour is going to be obsolete. You guys cant see it. you need to read or think more

AI chips isnt about chatgpt writing your essay. Its 9 foot tall robots wielding a gattling gun on both arms mowing down other killer robots

>>62640388
What do robots have to do with AI?

This is what I mean. You don't understand what AI is. You think it's Skynet, while in reality it's just a pattern predictor on a server. Robotics and automation is an entirely different field. A lot of the industry is automated with robots, but even that automation has its limits as we've seen with dark factories.

These showings of robots dancing, running, etc. is just spectacle. You don't see the engineering behind it, you don't know of the future challenges or its applications. All you can do is imagine, and that imagination isn't based off the research, it's based off what these companies carefully rehearsed and decided to show you.

When Open AI and Anthropic comes out with their 50 times the rest of the world economy combined IPOs they will take all of the investor money they can get, and that money will never be seen again.

it is not jargon, you are too dumb to get it. I can currently tell Claude to write a script and it executes incredibly well. Currently robots have to be controlled manually because scripts can just managed very simple tasks but if you can dynamically adjust the script with a voice command with a robot with some dexterity you have a usable product. The current problem is that LLMs are too slow for now at doing this, but more computing power and Moore's law will solve this eventually

>it is not jargon, you are too dumb to get it.
No. You're simply too dumb to understand what jargon is.

You're not explaining anything, you're throwing out terms with the implications "Google it".

This is not how you convince smart people, it's how you convince idiots.

>I can currently tell Claude to write a script and it executes incredibly well.
So what? That's not what the argument is. Generating functional code and running a kitchen, a storage, or daycare isn't the same thing.

You're talking about two different things and you (without any kind of insight or education) are imagining that a magical rainbow bridge will connect the two and we'll get robots cooking shrimp fried rice. You have no regard for hallucinations, the costs (not only for the mechatronics, but also for the tokens), how this is also supposed to be interfaced with the ever-expanding datacenters, what models will be used, or...how this will all be profitable.

Keep in mind that Chat GPT and Claude burn money, because they can not get companies to pay for the tokens they use. They're pretending that there's a magical solution on the horizon so that they can IPO and GTFO.

The Internet was innovative and successful, the dot com bubble still burst.

It's interesting that you say that, because seasoned investors (far more experienced and intelligent than either you or I) are very cautions of the market right now.

The Space X IPO and the liquidation that follow was the canary in the coal mine. The stock shot up to over $200, and then the lock-up expired and executives dumped the stock to $150. It's currently around $140.

The P/E ratio is -61.45, it's a money-burning machine running on the hype that it will eventually be profitable...and not only profitable, but profitable enough to eclipse all other industries combined.

Once Open AI and Claude get their IPO we will see the same story play out. We already see Open AI's executives leaving en masse, and the IPO isn't even out yet.

But by all means, believe in the magic, roll the dice, and hope that there will be a bigger idiot out there that will pay for your bag once you decide to liquidate.

Meanwhile I'll approach the market with caution. Focusing on necessary and low risk ventures, and once this all blows over and the market starts to recover I'll buy the dips.

Not GPU, memory makers and datacentres. These are just incredibly useful.
Yes pure model makers like OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI. (Google get a pass due to GPUs, datacentres and searcher/apps access/Android access moat.)
Model makers have a product they lose billions on, and if they were priced to make a profit everybody would move to free models which are like 95% as good for 15% the cost to run vs a fairly priced GPT-5 or Opus.

Therefore? Don't buy LLM companies. But selling chips and memories - one model or another will run - is a goldmine. It's an industrial revolution and that part is NOT a bubble.
>>
>>62641074
the only reason semiconductor companies are doing well is because the LLM companies are buying insane amounts of hardware and are bidding up the price of everything. If OpenAI and Anthropic stops buying as much as they are right now, the entire sector will see a huge revenue drop.

Oh it's definitely a bubble. Don't get me wrong it's not useless but it's basically only as useful as it's guided. And so it can only be guided to be an expert BY an expert.

It then gave me my exact recipe but worded it like it came up with it...

>The internet is not a "thing" people make or develop. Its just a plane of reality.

Anon, you think the internet is a "plane of reality" because you were born late enough to only see the finished product.
In 1995, it was exactly like AI is right now: a fragmented, corporate gold rush to build the tech stack from scratch.

>The Hardware: People didn't invest in "the internet" concept. They bought massive amounts of Cisco routers, hardware, and fiber-optic cables just to connect servers. It's the exact same reason investors are dumping billions into Nvidia chips and power grids today.
>The Software Tools: Web browsers and search portals weren't open-source magic. Proprietary tools like Netscape and AOL were competing corporate products trying to lock users into their ecosystems, just like OpenAI and Anthropic are doing with LLMs.
>The Cash Burn: Early dot-coms burned billions on marketing just to get "eyeballs" without any actual revenue model. Sound familiar?

The only reason the web feels like the air you breathe now is because the bubble burst, the hype died, and we inherited the cheap infrastructure left behind by the companies that went bankrupt. AI is just in the expensive foundation-building phase.
Want to look at the insane cash burn numbers of 90s startups vs today's AI labs, or see which 90s tech giants actually survived the crash?

Problem with the AI infrastructure is that it doesn't have the same longeviety as internet infrastructure so there is no expensive early phase roll out, you're just setting yourself up for another round of expensive capex spending another 5-10 years down the line when the hardware you have becomes obsolete.

If you dig down a fiber cable it'll stay there for about a century before you need to replace it, the upgrades are in things like the lasers sending the signals down the line rather than the fiber. With AI, there's nothing like this. You buy 500 billion dollars worth of GPUs and you'll have to spend roughly the same amount next round. Even if new models are more power efficient you'll just buy more hardware since you data center has a 100MW capacity and there's no reason not to take full advantage of that. Even if we finish train models, the main cost is in inference since by definition that's something you never stop doing. Any efficiency gains in that department means. again, you just buy more hardware and do more inference since why would you ever do less of it?
