Worked at company, forget the name (Williams something?) but they were the peak IT when I started my career in Tulsa, 2000 or so. They were laying fiber, but mostly lighting dark fiber. They were the future! Best employer in town! Crashed and burned, hard.
But as you said, those resources were laid to be exploited. Guess whoever figures out how to exploit the coming AI wreckage will lead the next wave of tech. Is that even going to be possible?!
Funny story; My camp is outside a town of 900 souls, most of those in the surrounding countryside. The ISP just ran fiber! There’s a stub-out at the end of my “block”! Totally uninhabited but for my weekly visits, but imagine that. Fiber everywhere now.

Text and image generation will keep existing in the long run.
Other aspects may collapse, but those tools are too useful for many businesses and individuals.

I suspect materials science and broad biology will eventually enormously benefit - but yeah. otherwise…
