What are they?
how could i even begin to list them, is the point of my original comment
Not that I think you're wrong, but come on - make the case!
I have the very unoriginal view that - yes, it's a (huge) bubble but also, just like the dot com bubble, the tevhnology is a big deal - but it's not obvious to see what will stand and fall in the aftermath.
Remember that Sun Microsystems, a very established pre-dot com business, rose to huge heights on the bubble and was then smashed by the fall when it popped. Who's the AI bubble's Sun and who's its Amazon? Place your bets...
The singularity. I don't think most authors of articles like these understand what the AI build up is about, they think it's another fad tool.

You can have a bubble, and still have profound impact from AI. See also the dotcom boom.
who cares about a bubble? we are on the cusp of intelligent machines. The implications will last for hundreds of years, maybe impact the trajectory of humanity
Nah, we aren't. There's a reason the output of generative AI is called slop.
I cant believe people still arent grasping the profound implications of computers that can talk and make decisions.
From a software development perspective, the more I think of it, the more I understand it's just another abstraction layer. Before that came high level languages and JVM of sorts, before that came the compiler, before that came the assembler. Outside of the software world it's mostly a (much!) better Google. Between now and a Star Trek world, there's so much to build that we can use any help we can get.

dude again, we have computers that can talk and make decisions. We have birthed something here. We have something, this is big.
Even by HN standards, this is just an incredible comment. You’d think it’s satire, but I doubt it.

Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence. We have machines that talk, which is corollary to nothing.

That's an extremely speculative view that has been fashionable at several points in the last 50 years.
