When mainstream media starts asking if something is a bubble, it's not only already been one for quite a while already, but it's about to pop.

yeah. I'm wondering if GPT-5 being a wet fart is going to be the thing that pops the bubble.

Was there a lot of hype surrounding the new launch? I didn’t really keep up with it.

Regardless, I think it’ll take a bigger disappointment to burst it. Maybe something on the corporate side, like big players not seeing a return of their investment.

Ohhh yes. Altmans promotion for it was the Death Star coming up from behind a planet.

Maybe something on the corporate side, like big players not seeing a return of their investment.

Ohhh, it is. The big corporate hosters arent making much money and burning cash, and it’s not getting any better as specialized open models eat them from the bottom up.

GPT-OSS was kinda a flop too, even with decensoring.

AI isn’t gone, but the corporate side is realizing this is as good a way to make money as selling air.

Thanks, now my mental image of the AI bubble is now shit-coloured.

I don't know about that. I remember reading about the housing bubble in 2005 and it took 2 more years for it to pop
