There is no “AI Boom”. It’s merely a manufactured narrative.
Ai rug pull bubble brought to you by crypto scam coin
Systemic contagion: Every dollar invested is levered to the tits.
AI boom is a poor choice of words, even though it’s intentional. And I don’t believe the article’s starting paragraph

Don’t threaten me with a good time
Oh no. Higher pc component prices! Somebody hasnt shopped computer recently.

Uh huh, wait until China seizes TSMC and the depleted US Navy just has to sit there like pikachu
TSMC has their infra rigged to blow. Naive to think they’d let the Chinese have it
