The Atlantic argues the AI bubble is unlike the last tech mania
The linked essay argues that the current AI boom is not just another repetition of a familiar bubble story. Its premise is that AI is now deeply entangled with the economy and stock market, making the dynamics more consequential than a standard speculative cycle.
The piece frames the debate around whether the sector's valuation, infrastructure buildout, and broader economic exposure make this bubble structurally different from past ones.
