OpenAI’s Collapse Could Trigger AI Bubble Burst | Business and Finance News

from The Daily News Now! Business

Tech critic Ed Zitron warns that OpenAI’s collapse could trigger a Lehman Brothers-style meltdown, unraveling the entire AI boom built on shaky foundations. He argues the trillion-dollar tech frenzy is fueled by delusion, with competitors like Anthropic existing only because of OpenAI’s hype. With OpenAI spending over $50 billion on computing and facing $750 billion in obligations to cloud giants, the whole system is a house of cards. If OpenAI defaults, companies like Oracle—already burdened with AI-driven debt—could collapse, sending shockwaves through markets. Zitron predicts OpenAI’s IPO delay and eventual failure will signal the end of the AI bubble and trigger a major stock market crash.
