So the bubble bursts once AI agents start cannibalizing old-school software firms, whose valuations collapse. Which wipes out private credit firms' giant bet on software. Which def creates a credit crunch for hyperscalers & friends, probably a broader liquidity squeeze, and perhaps a crisis. Got it.
