     @nixCraft Wow, this is crazy. A thing that has essentially no practical value is inflating the US economy.

     @nixCraft so when that pops, the Great Depression 2.0 starts.

     @nixCraft If true this is more scary than even intended because I'm about 90% sure that the bubble is very close to bursting now...

     @nixCraft The AI bubble is the sunk cost fallacy in action.

     @nixCraft Isn't that another way of saying the US will do anything to keep propping it up, no matter the cost?

     This is a race that is China's for the taking. USA will let that happen?

     Huge sacrifices are about to be made to keep up the illusion as long as possible.

     Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain (or the one at the Whitehouse lectern.)

     @nixCraft Just proves my point. AI stands for Artificial Intelligence, but it ALSO stands for "Actual Ignorance".

     @nixCraft It is only AI in PowerPoint. In Python, it's large models. In truth, it is creative marketing around statistical models tuned to predict the answer.

     And the answer is: don't waste so many resources on predicting answers using models that human brains are far better at giving.

     The attempt to replace human brains was doomed to begin with for any task that required one in the first place.

     When Deutsche Bank speaks, people listen.

     They know it is a clusterfuck. Now, they are wondering what are going to get in return for their investments.

     Maybe they are thinking to pop the bubble before they lose more money.

     @nixCraft It's even better, AI is avoiding recession because of the money spent building data centers, not because it generates any value in itself.

     @nixCraft That assumes that by the time that happens, reporting about a crash will not be considered treason by the Glorious Leader.

     @nixCraft I have been trying to decrease my exposure to tech this whole year, and it's actually *hard* to do now, because a lot of tech companies are officially classified as something else. An "ex-tech" index fund still has Meta and Google in it because those are considered advertising companies, not "tech". A "social" fund has, I think, all seven of the profoundly antisocial "Magnificent 7".

     Reading more and more articles with good reasoning and arguments about the AI bubble bursting is a strong indicator in my eyes.
