OpenAI Financial Collapse

@0taku912
This is why corporations defended AI because they don't want to admit they're stupid

@mysticking16
We survived crypto, we survived NFTs, and we will survive AI.

@Marksman3434
All that RAM theft for fucking nothing... The bubble can't pop soon enough

@angelofdeth94
I hate the way Scam Altman talks. His voice reminds me a lot of Elizabeth Holmes' fake voice.

@Avery.77
Not only is AI hallucinating, these CEOs are hallucinating on a whole new level. 😅

@Zire31Archivist
Not my comment, but it does explain the situation very well: “The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.”

@Silverrain-r8v
So OpenAI is asking ALL PC users to choose between having new computers and parts, or having ChatGPT? BUH-BYE!

@windmonkey95
The CEOs of all of these AI companies need to be thrown in prison for all the damage they’ve already caused and for the damage they will cause in the near future when the AI bubble bursts

@Bask3tChase
Billionaires are raid bosses that sit on rare loot and resources until they are defeated.

@TheT7770ify
What a massive waste of everyone's time, money, resources and effort

@eclectic_gamer
I wouldn't even trust Scam Altman to be in charge of running a bath.

@destrega984
The jewing will continue until morale improves

@Horse_In_A_Bookcase
Chat GPT, play them a song on the world's smallest violin.

@ArcaniE2
Gemini doesn't have more users. It is just force installs on more devices. All artificially inflated numbers to look good.

@1perveysage
I think these companies all need to be investigated under the RICO act because they are conspiring together against the people to basically force them to buy their products at a much higher price than they are worth.

@johnflier4873
Do the 650 million Gemini 3 users include all the automatic uses of Google's AI through normal web searches? I have no idea what to make of corporate slop statistics.

@minilabyrinth
They've dug themselves into a hole so badly they're trying to dig down to the other side of the Earth to escape

@ayoitsyayo
I see why chip and memory manufacturers especially hardware manufacturers refuse to increase production, they KNOW the demand is temporary because of the bubble and are selling their entire stock at a premium because once it pops they don’t want product sitting on the shelf, if they truly believed in ai they would’ve be ramping up production significantly instead of dragging their heels

@CeHee123
Watch the company go bankrupt and other executives still try to justify it. They burned billions to "save" money when they could have just paid their damn employees and it would have been cheaper. Judeo-parasite blindness at its most vile.


Analysts estimate the AI bubble at 4 times the scale of the 2008 subprime crisis and 17 times the dot-com bubble, using metrics like GDP misallocation from low interest rates. Projected AI capital spending reaches $6 trillion by 2030, including $1.6 trillion total and $1.1 trillion from U.S. megacaps by 2029, dwarfing 2008's $1.1-1.4 trillion subprime losses.

The 2008 crisis involved $10.5 trillion in U.S. mortgage debt (73% of GDP), subprime originations peaking at $1.4 trillion, and household wealth losses of $11-13 trillion. Global financial losses hit $50 trillion, with U.S. GDP impact at 40% of 2007 levels.

NVIDIA alone holds a $4.5 trillion market cap in January 2026, while the Magnificent Seven (AI-heavy) comprise 35% of the S&P 500's $58-62 trillion cap. A potential AI equity crash could erase $33 trillion, exceeding U.S. GDP.
