I smell another taxpayer funded bailout for the rich on the horizon.
AI stuff accounts for more than a third of total US GDP growth at this point, so yes they will do whatever it takes to keep that bubble afloat.
...but that aspect will only keep going as long as they keep buying GPUs. If this bubble bursts, sure the government might prop up the companies so they don't incur heavy losses, but the economic activity will stop. At that point the American economy stats will shrink by 30% (to their true size)
Oh yeah absolutely. Im just meant that you shouldnt expect them to stop. They will drag this out as much as possible which will lead to the worst possible fallout when it does inevitably pop.
