And the hardware providers got a lot of that money from their stock valuation which increased from the last deal they made with the last AI company. And this deal raises the valuation to fund the next deal.

All of these datacenters and the semiconductors inside them are like the housing supply in 2008, assets that exist on paper whose construction was funded by the speculation of future returns of the AI companies, who have yet to turn a profit or come up with any useful revenue generating venture out of their glorified chatbots.

Its only a matter of time before the AI companies run out of investor money without having a source of revenue and profit generation to pay for all this infrastructure, and that's when the bubble pops. However I think we will be waiting for a very long time for that to happen, since the funding ultimately comes from tech companies who have stashed away probably a combined trillion dollars in cash over the last decade. The problem is, that pulls in more than just Nvidia and openAI; by market cap we're talking about a handful of tech giants that make up like 40% of the S&P500.
