>apparently the ai bubble is 4x greater than the dotcom bubble
I have seen this claim and it's probably true, but not quite as outrageous as it sounds. The "dotcom bubble" companies people reference tend to be public internet companies, but ignores the intrinsically-linked telecom bubble from the same late 90's time, which was almost as large.
Additionally, a lot of this current bubble is in the value of large public companies that have other lines of business. When the bubble pops those businesses won't just disappear, the way single-purpose web companies did in the 2000's. Nvidia will lose market cap and lay off employees, but the business will remain. Microsoft will lose market cap and lay off employees, but the business will remain. Pets.com collapsed entirely. Flooz collapsed entirely. Excite went bankrupt. They had no other pre-existing lines of business to fall back on.
It's still a bubble.
I'm still going to enjoy the schadenfreude when it pops.
I just don't think it's saying "It's 4x the dotcom bubble!" means quite what people assume from the "4x" number.
