AI Is About to Crash!! Here’s Why.

The AI boom is facing a severe financial reckoning. In this video, we break down the unit economics, soaring corporate debt, and unsustainable cash burn driving frontier AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic toward high-valuation IPOs. As a software engineer, I share first-hand insights on how agentic workflows are inflating token usage, why AI won't replace software engineers anytime soon, and how competitive open-source and locally-run models pose a direct threat to closed proprietary APIs. Whether you are a developer, founder, or retail investor, understanding the economics behind the code is crucial before this bubble shifts.
