5. Open AI is not a profitable entity

If NVDA collapsed then yes that would have knock on effect but Open AI has always been speculative. How good or bad their TikTok clone is makes no difference because that is also not profitable and not key to the way AI plays out.

What many seem to be missing is that AI is part of the US military and therefore will not be allowed to fail. The "bubble burst" will be a shake out of non-MIC players.

The stock market is socialism for the rich. It is backstopped by the Fed. Look at March 23, 2020 for proof of that. 1929 is never going to happen again.
