    All that shows is who the business partners are. Nvidia sells GPUs, AI companies buy GPUs, and companies buy products from AI companies. For example, Microsoft’s Copilot is based on OpenAI’s models. End customers buy products from companies that either do AI themselves or buy products from AI companies.

    All you’re seeing here is how markets work. If it’s a bubble, it’ll likely impact those in the picture, but it’s not a bubble because of the picture.

      From the wiki article:

      Speculation about a bubble largely originates from concerns that leading AI tech firms are involved in a circular flow of investments that are artificially inflating the value of their stocks.

      Example: OpenAI buys gpus from nvidia. Nvidia invests in OpenAI with the expectation of them using the money to buy more nvidia gpus.

      The hype of any company partnering with OpenAI right now is boosting stock values crazily. Look at the AMD partnership, they basically were given one of the largest stakeholder positions in AMD and given the chips they wanted because they paid AMD by boosting their stock with the hype of the partnership.

      If it’s a bubble, it’ll likely impact those in the picture, but it’s not a bubble because of the picture.

      Yes if this bursts it’ll effect those in the picture, but we are also in the picture. If it bursts, who gets bailouts with public money? Who has to not buy things because it becomes too expensive?

      There’s more to it than a simple picture. If the stock market crashes because of AI (or for any reason), we will all be effected (even just think about peoples retirement funds).

      And final note, it’s not a bubble because someone made a graphic, they made a graphic describing how it could be a bubble.
