    This AI bubble is going to take so much of the economy with it and I can’t help but think we are all going to be paying to keep “too big to fail” businesses that clearly knew it was a bubble but invested anyway because the public would pay if it went side ways.

      Nah, AI Corpos are not too big to fail. A lot of Money has been dumped into this hole, but it’s irrelevant for keeping the economy itself running. Oracle will not survive its stupid deal with OpenAI tho when the venture capital dries up and Altman can’t pay for Stargate Abilene.

      also the massive loss of jobs, from the layoffs in favor of using AI is probably worst than 08 crash anyways.

        Very few of the job losses attributed to AI are really because of AI. Mostly it’s just a bloated tech sector shedding weight and using AI as an excuse because it plays well with shareholders. The reality is that they over-hired when credit was cheap and now they’re looking at their bottom lines and trying to find ways to be more efficient.
