    if the AI bubble bursts prices will go down

    Considering how everything tied and glued together in IT, when AI bubble will blow up, not only it will collapse US economy, it will also increase all prices in IT, as I see it. ARM? Belongs to Nvidia. x86? Basically a duopoly of AMD and Intel. Anything IT and corp related? Most probably located or entirely American. Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc. you name it.

    Whole IT right now is like that dude from “it goes down” meme

      Nah, it’d bring prices crashing down as the market gets flooded with all the used hardware from the AI data centers being cleared out and auctioned off in bulk lots by bankruptcy courts and debt collectors, leading people to buy them by the truck loads and put on ebay for pennies on the original retail dollar.

      ARM doesn’t belong to Nvidia. They tried to buy it a few years ago and failed. Its majority owned by a Japanese conglomerate.
