Ask HN: Feeling FOMO re: SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI IPOs and the future of tech

What's the future of tech going to be like? Will there even be a point in doing startups when people can just buy out companies for billions of dollars or raise like 100m plus early rounds? It feels like the numbers just went up up up and away and there is now like an infinite amount of money somehow.

Has there even been a time like this in the past?

    Let's see how the IPO of these companies go. The final outcome might be very contrasting - given the ROI numbers they have

    I'm worried that the AI bubble will burst, what do you think?

    Is this your first bubble?

    They are doing these IPOs now, because it is their chance to get out before the bubble collapses.

    Tech will stay the same, with less coasters.

      What happens after though I guess?

      And yes it is. So for example, it seems during the 1999/2000 era we were dealing with 100s of millions or low billions. Now everything is tens or hundreds of billions, if not trillion or more.

      So it just seems super inflated if that makes sense? But yeah I'm new to whatever this is, bubble or not.
