The entire US economy right now is 7 companies sending a trillion fake dollars back and forth to each other, but it's totally not a bubble according to grampa Powell.

Microsoft, Nvidia, AMD, Oracle and Intel are all profitable. They might not be worth as much, but still.

    Yes. It will all fall apart when all the regular businesses (not AI companies) realize that AI is just wasting their money and creating a big mess, not actually increasing their profits. These are supposed to be the big customers for AI and they’re really not benefiting from it at all.
