    Also look at all the mass-firings in the tech industry. Many of them are argued with AI being able to replace the workers, even though this hasn’t been proven. Even non-tech companies argue that way. AI is supposed to increase efficiency and thus you need less people to do the work.

    The dot-com bubble at least also came with mass-enployment. I wonder if the burst of the AI-bubble will result in the companies having to re-employ many of the workers they fired…

      I fear small to medium sized companies who fall for this will not be able to afford to rehire and they will go under. Leaving only these big monopolies left.
