@davidgerard it's like getting a free U2 album if U2 sat at your desk and tried to take your job and shit on the idea of your job and doing a good job at it and then you find out that they weren't U2, they had just listened to all their albums, and also U2 were suing them for not having permission to use their shit
Then when you got done figuring that out you see that unemployment is bad, service is worse, and that your power bill and your health insurance costs were going up, and your kids want to live with you until they are 28

"The AI investment ‘bubble’ (as measured as the stock price relative to the 'book value' of a company) is 17 times the size of the dot-com frenzy of 2000 — and four times the subprime mortgage bubble of 2007. The ratio of the US stock market’s value to GDP (aka the “Buffett Indicator") has moved up to a new record high at 217%, more than 2 standard deviations above the long-term trendline."

The AI bubble is not even capitalism, its effects will reverberate across the entire financial system. Paraphrasing Trotsky once again, you may not care about AI but AI cares about you.
For users, whilst it's impossible to tell exactly when and how any of this is going to happen, consider me a meteorologist of these things with a track record of being directionally correct more often than not based on historical climate data.

Cornell University, where Cory Doctorow @pluralistic spoke about the AI bubble (and where he serves as an AD White Professor-at-Large) has any number of bullshit AI initiatives under way, all aimed to appear cutting-edge while ramming the crap down the students' and faculty's throats.

I was ready some news letter about the mindbogglingly vast promises for LLMs on top of so little revenue...
What happens if giant companies like google, microsoft or oracle go bankrupt?
@alienghic Offering that Writer Ed Zitron has several articles explaining what companies are most at risk of collapsing because of their over investment in AI. #aibubble, #nvidia

. @pluralistic: “[AI companies] can't be profitable. They keep the lights on by soaking up hundreds of billions of dollars in other people's money and then lighting it on fire. (…) This isn't like the early days of the web, or Amazon, or any of those other big winners that lost money before becoming profitable. (…) Each generation of AI has been vastly more expensive than the previous one, and each new AI customer makes the AI companies lose more money.”
