Oh the bubble will pop, it will be carnage. But it won’t change my situation, the open-weight models already have caught up. We use one for a good part of our work. We actually flip between models and providers quite a bit, LLMs are a commodity. The whole investment scam arond datacenters is totally independent from the actual usage of LLMs, it’s quite bizarre really.

This is something people aren’t seeing. The Internet bubble burst as well, and we alwere using more internet by Y2k than ever. Even if AI bubble bursts, say in 2027, I’d wager that we’d be using more LLM on 2037 than ever

I wish more people recognized this. Way too many people are salivating at the bubble pop because they think that means AI goes away. AI isn’t going away. What evaporates with the bubble is your money, your retirement, your job. A bubble-pop is an economic event, not a material one. The entire western economy is currently propped up by AI/tech industry’s incestuous spending. When it crashes out, everyone except the billionaires who caused it will suffer.

Indeed bubble popping means a few victors will emerge while all others are dead, but they will stay. Like how we had a million internet startups at one point and only the big ones lived.
