A lot of people in the comments conflating "AI bubble burst" with "AI has disappeared completely", and saying it's not happening because AI still exists there.
When the dot com bust happened, the internet didn't just disappear overnight, it just shrunk into something more reasonable. I feel like this is the same.
Boy, it seem's China's beating the USA at all aspects of AI.

This is how they win: everyone's gonna pop, but their iron fist over the banks will prevent an absolute bust.
We haven't learned from fanny-mae and we're gonna get soundly fucked.
China has been taking steps to keep it's AI industry in check. They'll be fine. Their bubble pop is essentially a market adjustment. We all just get bent out of shape because of how big these numbers have gotten over the last few decades. The important thing is that the Chinese government took steps to protect it's other sectors which is why we likely saw their bubble pop before ours.
No new news. Deepseek is still raising billions in funding rounds.
I mean, this isn’t true from my perspective. All the Chinese LLM labs are still developing full steam ahead. Model/architectures are getting updated so quickly it’s a meme amongst inference framework devs, because they can’t even support one model before the next one is already out.
…They’ve always been thrifty, though. The difference is they don’t need a trillion dollar bubble to fund their modest, more sustainable dev/inference costs.
There's been a lot of bounces where the US stock market "lost" trillions then came back to its original point and more, see the election and March of 2025 and 2026
Could mean something could mean nothing, only time will really tell
They loved claude in china, when it got blocked they were tweaking on rednote
A correction is something different than a burst. What do you think is the future there?
More Futurism slop, it just don't stop.
Tech Lemmy loves its Futurism

And now everything will go back to normal and people in China will stop using AI.
Right?
Or it might be more apt to say that it shriveled like a rapidly deflating balloon: over the past four months
Not as catching as "bubble burst". LLMs have proven their use. It's here to stay. There's a lot of superfluous stuff, but people are coping if they think the bubble is going to burst and their jobs will all go back to how the were.
China doesn't have the chips to keep it accelerating.
AI isn’t a bubble. It’s here to stay. Get used to it.
