> John Normand, head of investment strategy at the A$400bn (US$264bn) AustralianSuper, told the Financial Times that not only did valuations of big US tech companies look high relative to history, but the leverage being used to fund AI investment was increasing "very rapidly," as was the pace of fundraising through mergers, venture capital and public listings.

> "I can see some forces lining up that we are looking for less public equity allocation at some point next year. It's the basic intersection of the maturing AI cycle with a shift towards Fed[eral Reserve] tightening in 2027," Normand said in an interview.

OpenAI is projected to have a revenue of a little less than $13B in 2025. That is revenue. Not profit. They didn't have a profit for this year, but instead had a loss of $16B. Their spend commitment is $1.5T!!!!
This lunacy is not limited to OpenAI. People have lost their collective minds. This is not going to end well.

It really more or less is limited to OpenAI. If their investors lose faith it can all go away overnight.
Anthropic might be in a little trouble, but Gemini will be fine and so will Grok. Nvidia is obviously going to be sad that they're no longer printing money.

Trump may be ultra-rich or simply very rich, but what's more important to remember is that Trump is a whore for the ultra-rich, always has been.

It is sickening to read. One of his latest gambits, admittedly small potatoes, is his defrocking the committee running Wash. D.C.'s golf courses. He intends his golf company to run them instead. They will squeeze out the common folk and the only ones allowed to play are the ones who can pay the exorbitant fees membership in one of his stupid clubs requires. T

Well, somewhat. To not see the bubble and how there is no way in Hell most investors will even recover their investments requires you to be deeply in delusion at this time.
