Comparing the dot-com bubble, blogger predicts AI will collapse to a simpler form

A post argues AI will go through a dot-com-style boom and then collapse to a simpler form, drawing parallels with the internet bubble: investors correctly foresaw the internet's growth, value scaling with fiber laid, and humans' latent need for self-expression via technology, while missing much else. Replying, rickasaurus contends the outcome hinges on alignment — only if alignment is truly solved, making AI a kind of wise guardian, would such a simplified AI fit the prediction.
