So, Altman says he needs $7 trillion to "innovate" AI in the US, when all of a sudden here comes Deepseek.

I don't know if this will burst the bubble. I hope it will. But at the very least, investors are going to want to know what the hell they've been paying for, and will likely insist that AI corps do more with less. I mean, it's all trash, but if you can make trash at one-tenth the price, there's going to be a real reluctance to keep handing out blank checks.
