As someone who've jumped on previous hype-trains, most of us who get involved with "frontiers" know it's over-hyped, have more realistic perspective of it and are more-or-less ready for what eventually will come.
I'm sure most people heavily invested into AI (energy, money or time-wise) know the consequences of the bet they've done, they're not exactly just trying to earn a living.
If the crash/bubble-pop would have change of impacting actual working class folks outside of the AI bubble, I'd agree with you. But I don't think the bubble is so large, the people impacted will be people who willfully made a risky bet.

Still, probably better sooner than later. Well, maybe after the power plants are done so we have excess capacity.
