It's stuff like this that leaves me completely hopeless that the AI industry will ever see the crash that it 100% deserves.

It could always turn out like NFTs did. Don’t lose hope yet.

Why did NFTs only last a single bubble, while Bitcoin persists?

Because it seems like a stupid idea on a surface? (Not to imply it's not a stupid idea on other levels too, but crypto and AI are not ridiculous in the surface)

Bitcoin never had the US economy dependent on it. It will slowly fizzle out as people realize their monopoly money becomes worthless when nobody wants to buy it.

AI on the other hand doesn't have luxury of fizzling out because the economy is dependent on it.
