AI bubble debate: 13 business leaders from Sam Altman to Bill Gates weigh in

The real AI “bubble” doesn’t just burst based on hype or model size. Sustainable value will explode when everyone realizes that sustainable value comes from an open, distributed, edge-cloud hybrid model, not just from expanding centralized infrastructure. When real AI runs everywhere (on your own devices, not just in someone else’s cloud), business models and power dynamics will rapidly change. At that point, the hype will disappear and only real utility, access, and user choice will remain. The question is not just “bubbles or not,” but who is building for the long game – building AI that is open, resilient, and user-controlled rather than just a rent-seeking cloud. Me & Spoke ✌️
