The bubble is literally already bursting as we speak. I don’t know why people think a bubble “burst” looks like a single catastrophic 45 minutes where all the stock goes to zero. Extend and pretend is easy when you are a trillionaire. But the stocks are going down, the investments are drying up, the data centers are being cancelled and delayed. It’s not working. They’re borrowing money as long as it’s available for borrowing to try and dig their way out but it’s not working.

Ill consider it when token subsidies stop. But also canceled training runs, more aggressive rate limiting and or price/increases on subscriptions.

I think even if big AI companies shit the bed hard and go under there's still a lot of hobbyist interest in AI that'll keep RAM prices higher than what we had in 2025. There'll also be increased demand from everyone who was putting off buying memory and storage. It'll take a while to recover from AI slop.

Also more importantly, the entire US economy (and by extension, the global economy) is being propped up by the AI bubble. Virtually all US GDP growth in the past couple years is just AI investment. If the big AI companies collapse (and *every* tech company is an AI company at this point, except maybe Apple), none of us are going to be able to afford jack shit. The rich cunts responsible for this will fuck off to Jared Kushner's Epstein Memorial Island and leave all of us holding the bag.

>>746700953
Don't be such a retard. There is such a thing as too high a price. Other industries don't have fake money thrown at them and have to actually sell their product to consumers. In true amerifat fashion potato chip manufacturers are trying to figure this out right now because despite raising the cost of their product to nearly $7 a bag they are reporting worse total revenue than before. A real head scratcher.

Anon, you've got companies like Oracle buying up tons of ram in advance to make giant data centers. This isn't consumer spending driving these shortages whatsoever, nor is it game consoles. It's all data center shit, data centers that haven't been built, but all the components are often bought ahead of time and stored in some warehouse until the actual thing is built, which can take years.

All so we can uhh....what are we doing this for again. Oh right. To have a slightly less retarded chatbot or something

AI is driving my IT chief insane.
He has to constantly go to meeting to essentially tell the C suite to stop being retarded and that no, AI can't replace most of our workforce for cheaper. Recently marketing figured it could fire all of our designers to replace them with AI gen'd picture for marketing. Only for the marketing campaign to fail completely because it was AI gen'd. Something he warned months earlier.

Gen Xers (who make up most of that crowd) have completely been oneshot by AI, it's insane. Like watching the Native Americans succumb to smallpox because they never built up an immunity to it.

>>
>>746701659
>Technological arms race with China
Well we've already lost if it's about AI. China has cheaper models and aren't bankrupting themselves over it.

The china shit is a manufactured cope so they can justify their circular spending ponzi scheme. Can't regulate big tech bro, can't break up the monopolies because then CHINA might get ahead right? China already has cheap independent models. That's not what these data centers are about. Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with whatever China is doing. These fuckers are trying to pull off some NERV level shit with the amount of gigawatts they're asking for (enough to fuel small cities in some cases). Something doesn't add up. The China shit is a cover.

>>746700019
retard. they arent making ram for consumers at all. they are making ram for data centers. its not the same ram. its not ddr5 or 4, its completely different. so when the bubble crashes, even if its tomorrow, you are a good 2 years out at minimum to even buy overpriced ram with any regularity because it takes time to switch all their fabs back over to the consumer shit, and it'll take even more time to produce enough of it to stabilize prices

Profitable or not, they'll just keep throwing money at AI until it works. AI is their new toy and they're not stopping until it's fully integrated to the system. These prices will never go down. They always quadruple down.
Look at the entertainment industry fused with woke shit, it never stopped and only got more aggressive. Despite all the money they lost they managed to push the overton window and normalize it, it's the normal now. AI will be the same, regardless of what happens. They know they can just brute force things long enough until newer gens to eat it up.
They won't see a problem with all digital, or renting cloud computing power to play games or do anything, it'll be a convinience to them.

they all have the mindset that reality is negotiable and as long as you can get other people to believe your bullshit, you'll get exactly what you want.
theoretically, the customer could buy your bag of potato chips for $7, so it's not a physical impossibility to get him to do so.
which means it's down entirely to your ability to convince him to do so, so that's exactly what they'll attempt to do.

If anything you need to replace the retards who get paid a shit ton for doing nothing.
Company in this case should re-hire the designers, put one in charge of the department, fire the marketing chiefs and introduce an AI.

From an article today about the economy here in Australia.
>The economy grew 2.1 per cent over the past year to June 30, seasonally adjusted, according to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics National Accounts.
>Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the numbers provided further evidence of Australia's relative economic outperformance in challenging global circumstances.
>"Annual growth in Australia was as strong or stronger than every major advanced economy – equal to the United States and much stronger than the rest," he said in a press release soon after the data came out.
but...
>"Productivity remains poor, per capita GDP was flat [and has lagged other advanced economies materially] and unit labour cost growth elevated," Dr Joiner said.
>Indeed Asia-Pacific economist Callam Pickering said Australia's labour productivity, defined as real GDP per hour worked, was unchanged in the June quarter, 0.2 per cent lower than a year ago, and 5 per cent below its peak.
>"Australian workers today are no more productive than they were seven years ago," he said.
>"It turns out artificial intelligence is everywhere, except in the productivity data. We might all be using it, forcing it into our workflows, but it has contributed diddly squat to nationwide productivity.
>"We aren't any more productive than we were before these AI tools existed."
So AI is doing nothing and the only things making number go up are inflated fuel prices due to the wars going on and importing more thirdies who aren't actually increasing productivity. Good times.

I find the idea that companies want us all to stream computers through their own hardware utterly laughable. Not because I don't think they genuinely want this or are trying to do it, I think they are. I think it's a joke because the logistical problem of serving every single person in the world with a computer is something that none of these chucklefucks actually invested a single thought on.

They'll try to sell it to us as a streamlined and cozy upgrade to not have to worry about handling those "pesky computers and their complex hardware" while failing to realize that they themselves are in no position to serve all of us either. This entire thing is going to end up being a massive failure with many data center sized landfills mysteriously appearing all around the globe.

Not my problem. I'm a dumb libtard who lives in a highly urbanized city, there is no room here for data centers. Based chungus right wing rural states voted for this so they get to reap the reward as well. Feels only fitting since I'm a fuck who doesn't deserve to be forward thinking and rich.

Retards think that the AI bubble bursting will just make all of this shit magically go away like when the dotcom bubble destroyed the interenet, except no wait it totally didn't we are still living in the aftermath where instead of a bunch of random ass websites flood the internet all internet traffic has just consolidated to a few couple of shitty websites. That's the same shit that's going to happen when the AI industry dries up except it's all going to be routed through China because they've been strategically pressuring Silicon Valley to structure itself like a house of cards that will take down the entire US economy when it topples because this was their plan all along. Why else do you think all Chinese companies are open sourcing their AI models when the US companies have all their models locked down harder than Fort Knox?

pets.com IPO imploded during the height of the internet craze causing investors to pull out across the entire sector which ended up snowballing into a recession. We're already in a recession so I imagine this will end up pushing into a full blown depression when the market crashes.

What's going to happen when normies can't upgrade their phones?
>>
>>746708187
I have a "mid range flagship" phone that is getting dunked on for being "weak" (hint: it just came out less than two weeks ago) and it does literally anything I need it to. It even plays games well, if I feel like it, and that's the biggest complaint people have about these phones. The annual upgrade isn't needed anymore as long as you can get a fresh battery in your phone, which is the most common reason I see people getting new phones.

It was about startup tech companies buying domain names like real estate trying to lure in investors with impressive sounding names. They promised a lot but most of these companies were made by idea guys who had no technical know how. Many of them did get heavy investments and like children in a candy store they spent a lot on debt thinking they had a lot of money when in reality it was mostly just speculative wealth based on how valuable they could be in the future, provided that they actually delivered on what they promised. For a while it worked because investors who already invested got hit with sunk cost fallacy, but eventually when they would pull out and stop investing. This would shatter the confidence that Wall Street had in the tech startups and would devalue their stocks massively. In many of these companies all that was left was huge piles of debt and not a single dime in sight.

To put it plainly, it was preppy boys playing with money they thought they had but didn't because they don't understand how the economy actually works. And dumbass investors not doing their due diligence figuring out who was real and who wasn't and instead threw money around like candy in hopes that they'd make it huge in the newly emerging digital age. Very similar to how these AI companies work, except this time the preppy techbros understand the economy a bit better and are trying to inflate their company's worth as fast as possible and extract real money out of it before the jig is up.

There's much more to it but maybe that wets your appetite to learn more.

Basically putting ".com" next to your company's name made investors get an erection and lend you money, even though nothing else changed. Percieved value.

Same happened with ai, just mentioning the new tecnology in any way made your company shares instantly skyrocket in value. So investors invested.
Now we're approaching the time to pay back all those loans.
Many won't pay it back.
Investors pull away all at once.
All companies that relied on investors suddenly can't work anymore.
They can't pay workers anymore.
Those workers have no money to spend and thus stop buying.
Many companies that relied on those workers spending money now have reduced gains.
They also go down.
There is now no work and nobody to buy shit from.
Ideally the government forks over a shitload of money when the bubble pops... But the us is already 40tr in debt and going up. Taxes go up.
The few companies that survive run away.

Basically the apocalypse for money everywhere

many regular people have their savings locked up in the stock market. something like S&P500 is considered safe, but right now its overloaded with tech companies.
401k and IRA is tied to the stock market too.

then there's always the possibility of bailouts to prevent a complete collapse which is taxpayer money.
thats why altman aims to bloat up his company to become "too big to fail". he wants to drag everybody in and keep the world hostage.

It will be fine.
Graphics card companies were pushing more system intensive graphics to major studios to sell next gen cards.

The biggest motivation for graphics bloat is gone. Games will be built to sell to existing hardware instead of as a marketing tool for new hardware.

In addition to what >>746710203 said, there's also the issue with things like company offices, goods and services etc., employees they hired all done on debt and suddenly these employees realize that they worked for months for no salary and goods and services were given away "for free". It's the less catastrophic part overall, but also the more immediate and less abstract issue you can point to.
>>
>>746710458
That's just an excuse devs use. Sure, some major companies were being paid to shill Nvidia's newest slop gimmicks.
But most of the reason games run so monumentally shit these days is because they're all being run on Unreal engine which is coded by jeets using AI.

Semiconductors are semiconductors, there is no shortcut. And if there was, the hyperscalers would snatch up all supply of those too. Demand outstrips supply by a colossal margin.
