For those of you cheering for the AI bubble to pop...
...are you not scared shitless?
This is not the dotcom bust, and it's far fucking worse than the 2008 housing crisis. And to think when I was young the Savings and Loan crisis was a big deal. We're on the edge of Great Depression 2.0.
the longer the bubble keeps going, the worse it will be... those of us convinced this is already a massive bubble believe the best time for it to pop was yesterday, the next best time is right now
Yea, the best thing for bubbles is to pop early and often before they start snowballing. These companies have negative net revenue and are burning billions. The tech is neat, but I don't think text generators are going to completely revolutionize industries the way the industry is presenting them. NVIDIA giving OpenAI money to give to Oracle to give back to NVIDIA just screams house of cards.
Oh no, we won’t be able to afford houses or rent or save for retirement or- hang on just a second…
Wait, we already can’t do those things, and the last thing I want to do is, once again, validate the existence of people I would prefer to see in little pieces scattered all over the street for all the pain and suffering they’ve caused just to get a little more money on top of their billions.
Guessing you have no idea what the Great Depression was like. My parents grew up in it.
Great Depression: 30% unemployment
2008 crisis: 4.2% economic contraction
If you think modern America is bad now, boy oh boy, you're about to get an education on how bad it can really get.
