    Interesting. Let me try one.

    Step 1, atomic bomb is very powerful
    Step 2, everyone rushes to build atomic bombs
    Step 3, ???
    Step 4, everyone can use cheap nuclear power

    The difference between dot-com boom and AI boom is that dot-com caused massive hiring at the beginning at ridiculous salaries, and dropped back to normal demand. It didn’t cause massive layoffs and force remaining workers to overwork.

    Both managements are stupid. The dot-com management only lost their own money, but AI management made people leave their own country penniless in the worst case.
