There were people profiting from the dot com bubble, from the crypto bubble, I'm pretty sure there will be people profiting from the AI bubble crashing. But surely not the average people, it'll be big corporations which profit no matter what.

They sure did profit from all the bubbles, but how would they profit from the AI bubble bursting?

That's a good point, my bad. I didn't think about the bursting.

They can maybe swoop in and catch an even bigger share of the market, as they are filled with cash after the AI bubble?

Or make sure the next big thing is also using GPUs

They already have almost all of the discrete gpu market, they'd have to expand to new markets (although they are kind of exploring that already)
