The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV), a cartographic representation of this digital terrain, has experienced a decline – a fall of twenty-two percent from its zenith. The ostensible cause? A fear – a phantom, perhaps – that the emergence of artificial intelligence, specifically those generative engines originating with OpenAI and Anthropic, might dismantle the established order of software-as-a-service. It is a curiously swift judgment. The market, it seems, anticipates disruption before disruption itself has fully manifested. One recalls the apocryphal Library of Babel, where all possible books exist, including those detailing the precise moment of a sector’s obsolescence. Yet, no such definitive text has yet been revealed.
