I'm not sure where to stand on this statement so I can only sit back and watch: I thought we would meet another AI winter ~2015 when we saturated computer vision and classification problems - then things started taking off for a little bit but settled but then things really took off...

You're still likely right as things must always come down but what if it doesn't.

I was riding through a town in Nevada with less than 200 people the other day. There was a billboard advertising that readme.com now supported MCP servers.

If that isn't a bubble I don't know what is.

Remember, the dotcom bubble didn't mean the internet was a dead technology. It meant that money was being invested into ideas that didn't pan out into profit.
