      I went through the oil embargo 70s, a couple of Reagan recessions, a Bush I recession, all before 2000, when Republicans really got their nation-destroying chops together for some proper, world class economic irresponsibility.

      He eventually buys up all ai companies for nickels on the megadollar and copy strikes all unauthorized ai providers.

      The only resistance left is the decentralised group of people running outdated and decensored LLM’s for erotic RPG.

      We’re doomed

          Sorry, you want the Tower here.

          It’s one of my favorite cards for symbolism, because the story is so apparent on the card. People jumping out of a burning building to their peril.

        Hey man, I do tarot, read it, then ask my AI what it thinks. It feels real.

        /s

        …no but for real, I like do draw tarot, and the AI has helped me get better at reading. It’s for funsies; I don’t take it seriously.

    When I lose hundreds of billions of dollars, I have to go to bed without supper.

    You mean the big short guy will earn money? Interesting. Hopefully that means I also happen to earn money as well.

    Bubble bursting…

    People who are somewhat liquid going to do some bargain shopping.

    The good ol’ pump and dump.

    (Btw, guys, A.I. threat is way overblown.)

      A.I. threat is way overblown

      This assumes AI will be all knowing and all powerful and will turn to evil.

      But bad, incomplete, dreaming AI unleashed by CEOs, in search for more profit margins, are a real threat. Imagine air traffic control under AI that just screws up and cause planes to collide. Or AI robots who go awry.

    Honestly, I gotta hand it to Apple. They never jumped on the hype train for AI as bad as all these other companies because they were smart enough to realize it was temporary and they are just chillin’ right now. Sure they did a few things here and there, but they didn’t try and change their entire business model around AI. When this bubble does pop, I’m sure Apple will be the one on top again.

    It always amazes me just how stupid all these billionaires actually are. It just highlights the fact that they did not actually “earn” that wealth, in the first place. If it were truly a matter of talent and skill, they wouldn’t be crashing the economy every five to ten years…but here we are, for the fifth(?) time in the last few decades?

      You may think it’s stupid but these people are still going to make ass loads of money out of this entire ordeal. Because the entire system is rigged in their favor.
