As someone who've jumped on previous hype-trains, most of us who get involved with "frontiers" know it's over-hyped, have more realistic perspective of it and are more-or-less ready for what eventually will come.

I'm sure most people heavily invested into AI (energy, money or time-wise) know the consequences of the bet they've done, they're not exactly just trying to earn a living.

If the crash/bubble-pop would have change of impacting actual working class folks outside of the AI bubble, I'd agree with you. But I don't think the bubble is so large, the people impacted will be people who willfully made a risky bet.

I don’t know. I’ve read the AI bubble/spending is so big (new data centers, power plants, etc) that it’s propping up GDP. If that all went away plenty of normal people could get hurt. Still, probably better sooner than later. Well, maybe after the power plants are done so we have excess capacity.
