You ever watch Olympic downhill skiing?
Not the highlight reel. The full run.
These athletes are flying down ice at nearly 90 miles an hour, right on the edge of control. And when they get ahead of their skis, there is a moment when they are still upright, still moving, but no longer really in control.
That may be exactly where we are with AI right now.
Companies are cutting jobs while pouring billions into infrastructure. Communities are pushing back on data centers and the way this buildout is happening. Even Wall Street is starting to show strain in funding AI at this scale.
Any one of those pressures on its own would be manageable. All of them hitting at once is something different.
We have seen tech get ahead of itself before. What makes this moment different is how many parts of the system are stretching at the same time — economics, infrastructure, public trust and capital.
AI has not crashed.
But it is not carving clean lines down the mountain either.
