The entire US economy right now is 7 companies sending a trillion fake dollars back and forth to each other, but it’s totally not a bubble according to grampa Powell.

    But there will be no demand for their “product”. They may have money in the bank but no future business model.

      Incorrect. The internet didnt go away over night just cause the dotcom bubble burst. AI still has value, just not the value these companies are overinflating. Many fields of science have been able to use AI for major advancements in their fields. They just dont need chatgpt or grok to do it because those models arent very focused and specialized. Even recent research from Anthropic pointed out how little effort it takes to poison models that rely on public information as training data, vs models that use heavily curated data.

      That and its not like gaming or digital design is going to suddenly stop existing. Graphics cards were valuable before the bubble, and will continue to be after.

      Demand will certainly decrease, but its not gonna go away. Nvidia can easily fall back on their older business model of being a GPU company, while still supplying parts of the AI market that survive the collapse. All the other companies, however, might have a very bad time.
