    Well now you know why Warren Buffet cashed out. He’s going to buy all the tech companies on a fire sale.

    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.

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

    So, they want us all to suffer for their bad decisions? Well that just puts us all on the same playing field (except for the 1%) and at which point, we will revolt and take them (1%) down with us.

    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.

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

    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.

    “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.

    Don’t worry, I’m sure there will be a huge government bailout that the people have no say in. Remember 2008? I don’t remember voting to give away piles of money to the bankers.

    You know what Iceland did when there was suspicious investing and they had bank failures? They put the bankers in jail! What did we do? We gave them a bonus!

    God bless America, because we’ll need it!

      America is really bizarro world compared to other countries and how they handle things like this.

      It just seems like in America, you can fail upwards, con people and still get out filthy rich.

        you can fail upwards, con people and still get out filthy rich.

        Only if you con the poors. If you con someone who’s rich or “powerful”, then you get punished.

        Nah, most of Europe did exactly the same thing as America last time around. Hell the EU went out of its way to make sure bankers didn’t lose money (how do you think Greek Debt which was entirely in private hands ended up in the hands of the EU, which then turned around and forced Austerity of Greece “to avoid losses of money of EU taxpayers”) - the Corruption was just as bad on this side of the pond as it was on the other.

        Iceland stands out because they were almost unique in the West in making the bankers pay for their shenanigans.

        It’s only bizarre until you realize this isn’t a failure of the system. This is a success for the people getting the payout. They have lobbied and deeply infiltrated the government. The US government doesn’t serve the citizenry anymore. It serves the rich and powerful. The rest of us are just useful as consumers to funnel money to the corporations.

      You speak the truth. These idiots sank trillions into a technology that people are very meh about. If it all comes crumbling down, they really, really have nobody to blame but their own greed.

        They forced massive shifts across the economy and wasted massive resources chasing a speculative technology all for power. We all suffer because of this and the government refuses to deal with it because we elect business friendly, ambitious liars.

        We all learned the lesson but the people who could implement the lesson refuse to because it isn’t to their personal advantage. We all know what the wise thing to do is but that would disempower some very rich and influential people who should never have been allowed to grow to be so influential over the state, aka us, that we can’t stop them from forcing us to pay for their speculative risk taking.
