It's the same as the dot com bubble. A lot of hype, a lot of investment in silly things, but also ultimately a huge amount of real value that continues increasing for decades.

Interesting take.

Supporting your view is the retrospective claim: Y2K justified huge spending, and the resulting dotcom bubble, resulted in a much needed economy-wide IT refresh.

FWIW, I'm fine with burning bales of VC cash to upgrade everyone's infra. Which "AI" does in a way that "crypto" didn't.
