Well, many hyped things actually quietly become real after the initial bubble blows up.

This one is incredibly funded compared to anything I've seen, including dot-com... I think it can go on much longer than expected, and when it collapses the consequences could be a decade-long hatred of lagging stock markets like the 1970's, complete with a commodity wave.

The thing is that today's AI has nothing to do with intelligence, it's a big data party trick. Is it useful? Yes. Is it going to change how we do things? Yes. But it has severe limitations and is worth only a small fraction of what is being spent on it.

The cynical position is that the wealthy are salivating at the prospect of not needing to pay any needy whiney sacks of meat to make money. They will be disappointed with 100% certainty. But something shifted in 2025 and I think there's some hedging on the part of the wealthy. Gold and silver are at astronomical levels unseen before. Clearly someone is anticipating the day after the bubble pops.
