The numbers are staggering, really. $155 billion spent on AI this year alone, with hundreds of billions more on the horizon. I’ve been mulling over this massive investment spree by big tech, and honestly, it’s got me feeling a bit like I’m watching a high-stakes poker game where everyone’s going all-in on what might be the hand of the century – or the biggest bluff in corporate history.

What strikes me most about the online discussions around this topic is how divided people are about whether we’re witnessing the next industrial revolution or the setup for the mother of all tech bubbles. Someone raised a pretty valid question: “How long can this go on before it pops?” And you know what? That’s exactly what I’ve been wondering myself.
