Right, they said an era is coming to a close. Their tone’s maybe wistful but not final. M&A cycle is an expression of the same idea? New era beginning.

Can't speak on the former but it's no secret on the latter: ALL the investor money is going into fucking AI right now, and it's suffocating anything else. Add to that the AI industry's taxing our silicon industry and we have a recipe for startup bloodbath.

For emphasis, I'm not saying fucking AI has no uses, I'm just saying I wish there was OTHER tech available to talk about too.
