Reddit asks whether the AI spending bubble is about to pop—and cheap RAM might be next
RuiRdA · reddit · 2026-07-27
A Reddit post argues that the AI market may be in an overinvestment bubble, citing heavy spending at OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta and xAI, plus the falling valuation of SpaceXAI. The author says the technology itself is not the bubble—demand for tokens is still strong—but wonders whether the business side can sustain losses forever.
The post then asks a practical question: if the bubble bursts, will RAM and used hardware become cheap again? It frames the issue as an AI boom with real demand but questionable economics, especially around compute and infrastructure costs.
