When will we simply accept that it’s a bubble and move on, instead of pouring a relentless amount of resources into it.

    And the ultra wealthy won’t feel the sting, and will be able to buy up much much more and repeat the process allll over again

      Sure it will burst, companies will go bankrupt, millions of peoples retirement savings will disappear, and many will suffer /die from the economic aftershock…

      BUT

      The rich will have already realized their dividends / capital gains

      The rich will have already purchased the land / property

      The rich will already have the data centers / ram / AI

      They rich will have their assets and eat ours to

      The whole system is a kleptocracy and the AI bubble bursting will make late stage capitalism worse not better.

          You may or may not be surprised by how many people call me an AI shill for acknowledging that.

      Not only that, they’ll get a public bailout because they’re “Too big to fail.” Like literally why are we paying taxes when we know that our tax dollars will just be handed over to the billionaires because they just keep breaking everything?

          They can always print it.

          And effectively tax all of us via inflation.

          Fed does that everytime the US government wants to issue debt and there aren’t enough buyers for at the given interest rate.

          … why do you think Trump has been basically taking over the Fed?
