The AI bubble is built on impossible math, tiny revenue, massive leverage, and belief that gravity no longer applies. So this is what 2008 felt like?

This is the part where bubbles always start lying to people.

When companies are burning insane amounts of cash and promising the future will fix it later, that is not innovation, that …
