@arstechnica I could sell that prediction like 3 - 4 years ago.
But all people who had money wanted to believe fantasies instead.

@arstechnica When you give all the money to like 5 people, those people get to decide what the market does, even when they're evil idiots.

Tax the rich out of existence, globally.

@arstechnica I suspect it wouldn't be such a big problem given the very specific nature of the companies (and straight up cons) involved if they were allowed to just crash and burn on their own as they fully deserve, but I think we all know that they'll demand hand-me-outs from the government and such to prop themselves up, so it's going to ultimately hurt us all because right as this is happening in America — where most of these corporations are — the Republican party owns the entire government

@arstechnica they're gonna use the crash of the AI bubble to hide the fact that the commercial and residential real estate markets are also about to pop and there's a good chance that student loans are propping up more of the economy that most folks realize--and that's gonna burst here real soon too

Let it crash. My mortgage is paid in full and my job cannot be automated or outsourced.

The AI bubble is due for an unforseen needle. The same goes for crypto.

@arstechnica So much hype, so little value generation.
