Progress rule
Now with ai you can get “more” (but weirder) performance with lesser parts, that now only cost 500x as much! The future is so exciting

These are dark times. Either they end very quickly and suddenly with loud pop or last long enough for us to see new production lines appear and enough chips being produced again.
Investors have way too much money and hype for AI. Even when production is scaled up they are going to keep outbuying regular customers until they run out of money in some years.
The problem with bubbles is not that they deflate, its that they pop.
As the internet shows, burst bubbles sink companies, not destroy the technology.
Thats true. Anyone who thinks the bubble popping will make AI go away is kidding themselves. On the other hand, when prices are set more accurately and investors start accepting that they will get diminishing, or even negative, improvement out of the latest model, we may see use cases start to shift to something more realistic.
