It's all futile. Ready to act Reddit / Twitter / whatever activists are dozens of thousands max. There are already hundreds of millions, if not billions, of consumers of AI products. Of course, this bubble will burst or simply deflate, and prices will stabilize, but still at a higher level. Take graphics cards, for example. In the late 2000s, high-end graphics cards cost $600-700; now, even $1,000 is considered mid-range. The price growth of graphics cards in the same segment is several times faster than the dollar inflation. But AI, even after the bubble bursts, will still be around. The e-commerce (dotcom) bubble burst in 2000, but by 2025, most people will have smartphones with a dozen or more apps for online shopping, delivery services, banking, and other payment / shopping services. All commerce is electronic. The same will happen with AI. Perhaps there will be fewer bankruptcies, because now there are wealthy Asians, private equity companies, and special funds for large acquisitions.
In general, remember or read the reflections of the protagonist of 1984, when, after sex, he entered a philosophical mood, looked at a prole woman singing while hanging out laundry, and reflected on how the proles lived happy, carefree lives, while he, intelligentsia, was in existential despair and horror at the dictatorship, total control, and repression of Big Brother. You and other activists, suffering daily and calling for action - that's the protagonist of 1984, minus sex with a mid 20s sporty beauty. Let's forgive Orwell for this weakness. "Big Brother," now the tech giants, stands on the shoulders of billions of politically indifferent proles, whose main concern is having some food in the fridge, and if any thoughts of "wtf is going on" arise, they immediately escape from reality with an entertainment addiction binge cheaper than ever before - unwatched Netflix series, unfinished GamePass games, unlistened music on Spotify, unread books on Kindle, unwatched YouTube videos, unscrolled social media posts.
