Given the price for a rack of bc-250 after the crypto hype cycle, the expected value of the hardware will be around 5% to 10% of the original retail price.

Without other market influences, that is a >90% expected discount when the over-provisioned market must inevitably self-correct.

If the Market follows what Samsung/SK Hynix did to the South Korean exchange this week, than the "AI" bubble will hit harder than the dot com crash.

I like the Shrek Movie correlation theory, as they always happen just before Debt-backed investors get hit hard... And the new film is due out in 2027. =3

I am hearing this point come up a lot. That in previous bubbles, there at least was useful infrastructure left in the aftermath. In the case of an AI bubble there is a lot of shortlived chips, and high maintenance infrastructure being invested into.

Can you tell us more about this? Or some link

Samsung and SK Hynix together account for around 60% of the Kospi's (SK stock exchange) market capitalization.

Over the past few weeks Kospi index has tumbled 25% since its June peak, resulting in a $1 trillion wipeout and its chipmaker duo have both lost at least 30% of their value. There have been days of near 10% plunges followed by sharp rebounds driven entirely by shifting confidence in whether AI spending is sustainable.

Don't worry about it... I am more focused on the bizarre Shrek film timing phenomena, and pondering whether the pattern will hold again. =3

Patrick Boyle gives a summary of the situation, but not the underlying Shrek issue:
