Here's how the AI bubble is going to burst in the next three to four months. A bunch of AI startups or LLM wrappers are gonna start to get replaced very soon. I was at a coffee shop, was talking to a founder that's building this company that's YC founded. It was a RAG based company that he built. And he was telling me how basically Gemini's new release is much better than what he's built, and it's going to replace what he has been working on. And he was looking to pivot his idea. This happened today. And then he showed me a CRM tool that he had built just in the last few days. A fully automated CRM tool using Gemini 3 and Cursor. So what does that mean? It means that the price of software is going to drop drastically.
