That's a fair point, but tulips are not AI.

I'm not even talking about tulips. I'm talking about The Information Superhighway in 1999, I'm talking about real estate investing in 2007.

Each event was so different with different motivations. The popularity of Tulips never back. 2007 was about hiding poor risk mortgages. 2001 every company had money thrown at them and today is about a product that costs more than the market can pay.

The motivation was the same for all of them. Money.

I dunno, we're throwing plenty of money at AI, just like dotcom got in 2001.

But it was thrown to everyone in 2001 vs 4/5 companies today.

Yeah, they at least look and smell nice and you can touch them.
