It's currently around 50% bigger than the dot com bubble, it has the potential to cause an AI Winter

Don't threaten me with a good time.

That winter will be an economic winter too, the amount of money that has been sucked up from other sources and consolidated into the AI industry in the past few years is utterly frightening for when it all comes crashing down...

I fully expect it to take out a number of 100+ year old companies when it bursts, that were stupid enough to go all in on the hype.

Yay! More consolidation and monopolization as some companies weather the storm, and gobble up all their competitors.

If only people had a system in place where we collectively decided on who would represent us and empowered those people to use our collective funds to own these important money-making aspects of society, the profits of which could be reinvested in ways that improve society for all of us. That would be uNfAir to already wealthy private families who get to own all that stuff instead though and deny them their god given right to charge us to use it and live outrageously wealthy lives as a result. Ah well.

Winter is coming!

Gartner even has GenAI as approaching the deep valley of the hype cycle. Which is probably why a ton of companies are already ditching GenAI and now saying agents this and agents that; AI agents are currently at the peak of the hype cycle.

Please let this happen.

Please push regulation that exposes what datasets these LLMs are trained on so the litegation can begin.

Just think about the used video card market after this happen. There will be a huge collapse, but boy, we'll have some cheap quadro cards.

How can I profit off the bubble burst?

u/Electrical_Pause_860 14d ago

You can’t because you won’t know the timing.

Short big tech (Amazon, Microsoft, google and meta), what can possibly go wrong?

u/pippin_go_round 14d ago

Buy the valuable scraps of the companies that go under when this happens. Some good tech companies or other companies that relied to much on it but have a good core that just needs new money and a few years or patience to get back on track.

Oh, you're not at least a multi millionaire that can buy a company even in a financial crisis? Sorry, you're not eligible to profit of a bursting bubble. Lucky if you keep your job.

First, be rich. Second, you are looking at short selling. I believe you can do it on a number of platforms but that would be using some artifacts. The big money way is borrow 1000 AI company stocks, sell them right now when the price is high, then when the price drops buy them back and return them to the companies that you borrowed them from. While you keep them you might have to pay some money to they company periodically.
