You just said that everyone will be able to run a powerful AI locally and then you said this would lead to a pop of the bubble.

Well, which is it? That AI is going to have huge demands for chips that it is going to get much bigger or is the bubble going to pop? You can’t have both.

My opinion is that local LLMs will do a bulk of the low value interference such as your personal life mundane tasks. But cloud AI will be reserved for work and for advanced research purposes.

Just because a bubble pops on the economic front doesn't mean the sector goes away. Pets.com went bust a mere 10 months after going public, yet we're buying all kinds of products online in 2025 that we weren't in 2000. A bubble popping is about the disconnect between the forward looking assumptions about profitability by the early adopters in the space versus the actual returns once the speculation settles down and is replaced by hard data.

If it pops and then people underestimated the impact of the technology even at the peak, was it really a bubble?
