Has the AI bubble just begun to burst?
16 October 2026The AI industry can't keep pouring billions of dollars into setup costs, as they have been for years now.
Eventually, investors want to see not just a return on that investment but significant profits yet those profits seem very unlikely.

Have we just seen the first sign that this bubble of hope is bursting?
