Big example in the article is Alphabet, so I looked up their stock and it’s up 86% in last 12 months. Incredibly short term article.

But isn't that the nature of bubbles? They go up for a long time, and then they come down very fast.

So the day after the bubble bursts you'd see exactly this: a very recent very sharp drop, preceded by 12 months of solid gains.

Is this it, is it finally happening? Is RAM going to become cheaper soon? I hope the crash, when it comes, won't wipe out peoples pension funds... but I've been charging up my schadenfreude towards the breathless AI hypeboys for a LONG time

Here's to all those crypto bros who traded out of their crypto positions at a loss to trade into the AI bubble.

also, sometimes when they pop you’re till up 50% after everthing is said and done, even if you’re down 90% from the peak.

Alphabet's business is in information retrieval, they're probably the only company out of all of them where the defensive AI play is justified
