    They have made literally hundreds thousands times more during the short time AI was a thing than the entirety of the rest of their existence, like literally chatGPT was released in 2022 the Data before that is irrelevant except the crypto phase they would he idiots not to chase bubbles.

      But, now they will always expect to make that much money, which will not be possible. So, in the end, they will be victims of their own insane growth. Consequences of the “growth at all costs” economy

        I would hesitate to call the first 5T company a victim in any scenario.

        If they crash burn and die right now the share holders still made exponentially more than decades of business as usual with no AI boom.

        Edit: assuming they pull there stock before it crashes, but they have a lot of head room to pull before it ever gets to the pre ai boom.
