Either way, I both hope and don't hope that the burst happens soon. This isn't sustainable, either from an economic or environmental standpoint. On the other hand, when it bursts, a *lot* of people who were in no way responsible for this absolute shitshow are going to get hurt. It's never the people who cause the problems who wind up getting held responsible.

I keep thinking the AI bubble will burst soon, because at some level it simply has to: the idea that it is sustainable to continually produce and sell something that has no demonstrated or theoretical application is just mind-boggling.
On the other hand, Amtrak just today pushed an AI chatbot on me, and they're pretty far from the tech/VC hype cycle, so maybe the bubble is here for a bit longer.
