Microsoft, Nvidia, AMD, Oracle and Intel are all profitable. They might not be worth as much, but still.

Those are all shovel sellers. People stop buying shovels when the gold rush goes bust.

The shovel manufacturers will probably be fine, just reduced margins, but the shovel warehouses are so fucked holding nearly a trillion dollars of worthless shovels

In the words of Pat Gelsinger, we're about to see a lot of digestion.

Yes. It will all fall apart when all the regular businesses (not AI companies) realize that AI is just wasting their money and creating a big mess, not actually increasing their profits. These are supposed to be the big customers for AI and they’re really not benefiting from it at all.
