dot-com bubble? It's less about black or white, and more about how much of it. Nothing weird to me about caring given how it all also impacts peoples lives and much wilder all these numbers are becoming.

Difference is that Amazon, Microsoft, Google or Oracle are not going out of business if it all collapses. Neither chip or hardware manufacturers will be harmed.
Oracle is on the edge; if they can't put their capex in SPVs they would get taken out by a crash.
I'm in no way expert on corporate finance, but Oracle has always been known to be sleaziest of sleazy companies. And Larry Ellison is still 6th richest person in the world and is not known to throw money on crazy moonshots like Mark Zuckerberg.

Oracle likely structured everything the way that its gonna be everyone else problem before they go down. No?

Oracle is a tiny fraction of the stock market.
What are you saying then? Don't question or point out things that seem weird? Drink the kool-aid?
This is just not dot com bubble. Its not like someone built x20 datacenter capacity than humanity needs or x10 chip manufacturing capacity or x5 power grid output.

So far capacity barely grown because its super slow to build, but prices skyrocketed x5 to x100.

If its blownup everyone will just return to selling hardware or capacity at 20% margin instead of 2000%.

Only major labs will collapse because they have nothing but models and losses. People working for them still gonna find a job just with $10,000 bunus instead of $1,000,000.
