What it does

The dot-com crash was a stack of triggers that hit within months of each other. Each one is tracked here against its 1999–2002 counterpart. A trigger is dormant with no live development, building when the pressure is visible, and fired when the event has happened. Each line below is a stock index around its first rate hike (month 0). Dots mark the cycle peak. Dot-com and Japan kept rising for seven to eight months after the hike. In 2021 the top came four months before it. The history, the rates and our dated forecasts behind the clock. The index is near a record. The AI names that depend most on borrowed money are not.

AIs are really good at writing code but really bad at debugging -- it's amazing to use Claude to prompt an app into existence, and pretty frustrating when that app doesn't work right and Claude is all thumbs fixing the problem.

    I built a website showing the likelihood of the AI bubble to popJul 2026 · laurentiugabriel.github.io · ▲11

The objective is to predict AI race cooldown by looking at a potential decrease of activity involving these elements. The website looks at the quarterly forms from the 5 biggest hyperscalers and adds their CapEx into the mix, calculating a composite index in the end showing how likely it is for the AI race to slow down. Enjoy!
