Is this the same bubble as housing and crypto?
I’m still waiting for the „collapse“ predicted by the „experts“ a decade ago.

I don’t think big companies like Microsoft and Google making bad investments is really the same as the subprime mortgage crisis.

I don’t think it’s an apples to apples comparison. These were two different markets, and there have been different finance sector issues (mortgage backed security shenanigans, vs probably issues in private equity right now that are not directly related).
There’s also the question of what constitutes a bubble. But if it gets too big relative to what the economy can handle, pooping can be pretty bad. And I don’t think the economy can handle much right now.

Sounds like a billionaire problem. I only pay $20 a month to use AI.
