What Jiang said
“So everyone thinks that, okay, eventually the AI bubble will burst because it doesn't make any money... they're spending too much money.”

AI companies are investing trillions in data centers but ChatGPT and similar products don't generate actual profits. The money flows in a circle between tech giants. Only government surveillance contracts can sustain it.
