Polymarket · x · 2026-10-25
Polymarket's prediction market currently gives only a 9% chance that the AI bubble bursts by the end of the year, signaling market optimism about near-term survival.
The post also cites a warning from Apollo's chief economist that, despite massive investments, AI has delivered "zero payoff" to corporate America outside Big Tech so far. The juxtaposition of buoyant market odds against skeptical macro analysis makes this a notable snapshot of the AI bubble debate.
