We're 17 years past the peak now and the 3rd World is going hungry and dark. We'll be next, we're well on the way in fact.

If you're having a bad day today, just remember someone bought the NTF of the first tweet in history for $2,900,000, and now it's worth $10.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n a memo sent out to staff last month, OpenAI CEO issued a “code red” urging employees to double down on improving the company’s flagship product ChatGPT, as financial pressure loomed and competitors gained ground... the company announced earlier this month that ChatGPT will soon start spamming users with ads.

How long did the dotcom bubble take to play out? About a decade from start to blowoff top. Slightly less with the housing bubble that played out after it. Then the Obama era shale bubble, about 10. EV bubble, 10 years about. And how long here? Well it depends on if you want to add the quantum computer bubble in there but it must be running close to ten years as well, with the action of the last year being the blowoff top, the Nvidea and other techstocks runup. All we need now is the collapse, fast and furious like when all the Battcar players went bankrupt and Tesla and Ford sales went South
Behind the scenes of these bubbles we see what's called general inflation effects, and that's what has pushed things like houses and food up. Houses are not actually all that expensive compared to the bubble top in 2006, it's just people are a lot poorer and interest rates are probably 4% higher.
The median house price in Miami in 2000 was approximately $193,600
The median house price in Miami in 2006 was approximately $382,200
The median house price in Miami in 2026 is approximately $466,837 to $572,304
That's 20 years later. Using the higher figure for 2026 you can see prices haven't even risen 100%, And that's over two decades. The 10 year doubling myth for house prices is gone for good.
Interestingly in those 20 years Gold has risen nearly 900%. Are there any 20 years bubbles in history? None come to my mind.

Bubbles are financial fictions that don't really tell you much about the underlying technology. The "dot.com" bubble was a serious bubble, that popped, and yet, the underlying world of the net, electronics, computers, and programs continued on and grew at a great pace.
AI's the same deal, the LLM tech is real, and useful, and the bubble and its self-replicating self-financing loopy-ness is still very much a serious bubble that will pop in time.

if you say so... Then there is the Battcar bubble, that didn't pan out into a mass uptake. Nor is the alt energy bubble. US home solar installs have fallen through the floor and many of the big companies are bankrupt and gone.
The internet, computers and mobile gave consumers incredible advantages and lots of fun, not the least of which was personal entertainment, personal shopping and personal connectivity. What do LLMs give? Just information you can't trust half the time. Read up on LLM poisoning.

Last I checked the battery car concept is going strong, most especially in countries that are heavily increasing the capacity of their electric grid. In the US they're doing OK, not great but definitely not in failure territory. Teslas are ubiquitous these days. Whether the Tesla *STOCK* is in bubble territory, that's a completely different concept. The cars are however, selling just fine.

Check the dates on the stories you're are reading mate, this is 2026, and I don't know of ANY country that is "heavily increasing the capacity of their electric grid"Oh, and don't fall the trap believing hybrid cars are EVs. They are not, though the industry is stuffing the sales figures with them to try and mask the rejection and collapse of true EV.

Its plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) sales came in at 56,240 units in January, up 36.91% year-on-year but down 25.15% month-on-month. Xiaomi EV delivers ...

I don't know why I bother you know... You guys don't research anything, or post up any proofs. You just pull shit out of your arses and smear it across the webpage.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')ast I checked the battery car concept is going strong,
What's that supposed to mean? It's unsubstantiated bullshit.
US electric vehicle (EV) makers have gone bust recently include;
Fisker, Nikola, Lordstown Motors, Proterra, Electric Last Mile Solutions. Other related battery/charging firms like Romeo Power, Volta, and Natron Energy also faced failure or acquisition.
Here is a rough list of all the EVs that have either been discontinued, pulled from the US, never made it to the US, had development scrapped or have been put on hold since January 20th 2025
Acura ZDX (discontinued)
Polestar 2 (discontinued for US)
Volvo ES90 (plans to bring to US scrapped)
Volkswagen ID.7 (plans to bring to US scrapped)
Genesis G80 EV (discontinued for US)
Kia EV4 (put on hold for US)
Chevrolet BrightDrop (discontinued)
Dodge Charger Daytona R/T (discontinued)
Ram 1500 BEV (development cancelled)
Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Banshee (development cancelled)
Jeep Gladiator 4xe (development cancelled, PHEV, but goes to show you lack of incentives is even impacting non BEVs)
Honda three row EV (development cancelled)
Nissan Ariya (discontinued in US, future in US uncertain, it could return)
Mercedes EQB (discontinued in US, future uncertain, it could return)
