“The speaker argued the AI bubble has peaked, with the recent blow-up of levered retail and hedge fund capital (e.g., South Korean traders, crypto bros, the 'Situational Awareness' fund) representing the 'last in, first out' marginal buyers who are now impaired and cannot re-lever to drive prices higher.”
