That seems suspiciously soon, but my impression is based on nothing but vibes — a sense that companies are still buying in.
Ed Zitron says it'll burn by end of the year, but he doesn't list sources either so idk
We were asking around AI industry peons in March and they all guessed around three quarters too. I woulda put it at maybe two years myself, but I was surprised at so many people all arriving at around three quarters. OTOH, I would say that just in the past few months things are really obviously heading for a trauma.
Put me down for "doesn't think it will end." Did crypto end?
crypto's VC investment fell off a cliff after the crash, and that investment is what we were talking about there
hence their pivot to AI

they've stopped putting fresh money in, but they believe fervently in the massive bags they're holding
