On the plus side, if all the AI companies collapse there will be a lot of spare hardware.

Open source projects would have a lot more compute to work with.

This is a great point. Now I have extra reason to cheer on the bubble bursting.

This is my thought, sure a lot of VCs will lose a lot of money as they write things off.

But it's not like people are going to throw out all the Nvidia hardware they bought.

And there are ai applications that I can think of that would be viable at 100x cheaper price.

That would be nice, but I'm more worried they won't collapse because they'll succeed at shoving their snake oil down the throats of enough big players to ensure their survival.
