    Every bubble goes through this phase just before it pops. Pre-implosion Twitter had tons of folks doing useless “research” projects, WeWork had folks studying furniture design’s impact on wellbeing, and so on.

    When you’re more worried about this sort of stuff vs generating profit then the history books strongly indicate that’s usually not a good omen of what’s coming next.

      What do you expect to happen? The technology to disappear and for us to go back to living like it's 2021? It will just pop and be gone?

        I expect companies busy self-flagellating with prophecies of doom to fail, and companies selling the best models for the lowest price to win. But individual companies booming and busting won't disrupt the overall progress of the technology very much.
