The problem is, we kinda just fell into the dotcom bust. The internet hit, most loved the internet, It made a lot of money and didn't put people out of work directly. It burst when the investors decided they wanted to cash out and everyone jumped out at the same time.
The AI bubble is being tended to. They know how it works, infusing money here and there, they can keep it going for a long time. AS the mega rich are invested in it and they're siphoning all the cash out of the middle and upper middle class, all they have to do it keep the engine running and suck it all dry.
You see them right now carefully stepping into IPO. Courting the right billionaires and trillionaire. There's already clear indicators that these big entities need to be 10x larger to actually earn their valuations, nobody cares. Corrupt bottom to the top.
This one may not actually pop in decades if they can manage it
