    Was that a threat?

    And I hope he wasn’t threatening everyone who participates in the global economy.

    you’re kidding right?

    those billionaites that gambled the US economy on an executive borwnosing machine will get a bailout paid by those who lost healthcare and can’t afford food. 2008 all over again.

          didn’t they ended up with an emperor?

          we learned that violent revoluts without unity and theory will succeed in creating another unfair system.

          Organise, join local groups, join those groups with other groups.

    Make no mistake. Just like the housing bubble of 2007 and 2008 there are people poised and ready to make tons of money off of the deflation of the AI bubble.

      The money to be made is on predicting when, not it it’s going to burst. Otherwise we’d all be betting the house on it.

        Actually it’s more about the how. The people betting against the housing market put their chips down as early as 2005. They just had to find a way to profit from it.

    Any company not using AI for anything will be pretty unaffected when this bubble pops.

      Even if they don’t use AI, they probably trade with a company that does.

    “I’m gonna take you all down with me!”

    Then I’ll ask for a sweet socialist bailout while the rest of you enjoy rugged capitalism.

    Translation: we juiced the bubble so good trying to make a trillion dollars that when it pops, the world economy is coming down with it.

    Due to the sheer number of articles surrounding the AI bubble popping; I’m coming to the conclusion that this has already started.

    The sooner the better. Less LLM infatuation means better customer service, less overall environmental impact, and more water available to cities.
