I think we're gonna start seeing bigger dips - Some grown-ups are finally voicing caustion, so the AI rat-race is cooling off somewhat, the most visibly is OpenAI sudden halving how much it "intends" to spend, thanks to pushback from investors and lack of anybody else willing to lend.
Still stupid amounts, given their earnings, akin to a bank giving a Platinium card to a Hobo with a terminal illness. But hey ho, anything that cools this off, hopefully prevents it going "BANG!", whilst reducing RAM prices - I'll take it!

Unfortunately, the current consensus seems to indicate that investors are not gonna take their foot off the gas pedal anytime soon. It's now a matter of national pride, if you will. The West might not want to risk backing off when the East is still making strides every day.
