And the rest, as they say, is now history. Apple went from being "beleaguered" to being the highest capitalized company in the world.
Back in the late 1990s, very few people would have predicted that ARM chips would come to be one of the major platforms in the industry. After all, the most visible product even using their chips back then was the Apple Newton MessagePad.
I did, because I understood the technology.

The reason why the AI bubble hasn't burst yet, however, is not because the companies involved aren't making any money, and are in fact burning up huge amounts of money (not to mention natural resources). The reason is because of what they represent to the ownership class, the neoaristocracy, and that is the potential prospect of near-limitless control of people's lives through digital surveillance. That's the real endgame, and they will pay much more money than you think to get it.
