🥽🧪⚡️ Is the AI Stock Market about to Boom or Bust? 📈🤖💥 (Community Debate)
For a change of pace, we’ll step away from the technical side of AI execution for once and zoom out for a bigger debate:
Is the AI stock market headed for a boom or a bust?
China’s models, including Kimi K3 and DeepSeek, are challenging the cost structure of U.S. AI companies by delivering increasingly capable models at significantly lower prices.
Will investors continue pouring money into U.S. AI companies as before, and are these companies building sound, sustainable businesses, or are their valuations being supported by circular investments among chipmakers, cloud providers, model developers, and major technology companies?
Bring your evidence and your point of view. We’ll debate the bull case, the bear case, and whether today’s AI boom is creating lasting value or setting the stage for a bust.

🛠️🦞 Friday AI Labs Sandbox: Debate, Don’t Just Watch
This is NOT a class. It’s a weekly workshop where builders, founders, investors, and curious minds exchange ideas, question assumptions, and learn from each other.
• Bring Evidence: Support your position with numbers, market signals, or firsthand experience.
• Challenge Your View: Build the strongest case for the side you disagree with.
• Keep It Open: Question the hype without dismissing the technology or the people building it.
Bring your laptop, your favourite AI stock, and any research tools you use.
This meetup is not tied to one platform. Anything involving AI agents, LLMs, automation, investing tools, or vibe coding is welcome.
