    I imagine they’re referencing the 2008 precedence, although that was banks. But these tech companies are now ‘worth more’ than the banks so they may be considered ‘too big to fail’. Wiki entry for 2008 bailout: Bailout Link

      I don’t think big tech that does stuff besides just AI (Google, Meta) will go bankrupt when the AI bubble busts. The AI-only tech companies though (OpenAI, Anthropic, …) - I guess we’ll see. I’m pretty sure many of those will die.
