Is the A.I. Boom Turning Into an A.I. Bubble?

It's been a bubble since GPT2 guys, get with the program.
There is zero chance even half of all these AI product companies still exist in half a decade.
Now if you don't mind I reckon I'm gonna Alta Vista search for CDNow and then webvan something from pets.com

Always has been.

Is it really a boom when it's literally forced upon you unwillingly? Shoehorned into all the products you used to like?
-
For some it will be. For the pure AI software companies, yes. For the hardware vendors and data centers, less so. Even if it's not for generative AI, there will always be need for hyper scale compute.
-
What’s the commercial use for current capacity of hyper scale compute?
-
Not a lot? The quirk is they’ve hyper specialized nodes around AI.
The GPU boxes are useful for some other things, but they will be massively oversupplied, and they mostly aren’t networked like supercomputer clusters.
Scientists will love the cheap CUDA compute though. I am looking forward to a hardware crash.

I mean, GPU box hardware prices will plument if there’s a crash, like they did with crypto GPU mining.
That’s how I got my AMD 7950 for peanuts. And a Nvidia 980 TI!
I am salivating over this. I am so in for a fire sale MI300 or A100.

Its like bubble wrap, because someone is gonna have fun popping it

ROFL. iS iT a bUBblE?!?

When mainstream media starts asking if something is a bubble, it's not only already been one for quite a while already, but it's about to pop.
yeah. I'm wondering if GPT-5 being a wet fart is going to be the thing that pops the bubble.
Was there a lot of hype surrounding the new launch? I didn’t really keep up with it.
Regardless, I think it’ll take a bigger disappointment to burst it. Maybe something on the corporate side, like big players not seeing a return of their investment.
Thanks, now my mental image of the AI bubble is now shit-coloured.
I don't know about that. I remember reading about the housing bubble in 2005 and it took 2 more years for it to pop
