There is a lot of talk about the AI bubble. I think there are comparisons to the late 90's/early 00's here with early stars rising quickly but, ultimately, falling. Since essentially everything touches the internet now it is clear that the 'internet bubble' was more of a shakeup of companies than a real over-hype of the internet. That, I think, is at play right now too with the 'AI bubble'. AI isn't going away but some of the early stars may not make it.

So, the real question here is: Is OpenAI Netscape, or are they Google?

What is their moat?

It seems like its just consumer name recognition at the moment

I don’t care if OpenAI is Netscape or Google.

What I want to know is are we in 1994 of the AI bubble or 1999?

Because even after the dotcom bubble popped, it was still much better than it was in 1994.
