How about when the AI pyrite rush stops? That'll mean a hell of a lot of shovels no longer being sold. That combined with wall street expectations of never-ending growth will mean a dramatic drop when revenue is a fraction of what it was just a quarter or so ago. You've already pointed out that AI isn't turning out to be a great source of profit, so it's clearly not sustainable. All other avenues of business you mention pale in comparison to the business that AI hype brought in.
