A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

The bubble can keep going for longer than we imagine... since the big 7 can keep doing their Hollywood or bear poop accounting, and the US government isn't going to cry foul as long as they can keep up the charade that the economy is doing just fine.
If you want me to make an unqualified crystal ball prediction, as soon as the 2026 midterms are over, if it's not rigged and Dems make any gains at all, institutional finance will get worried they'll be called out on their games causing it all to crash.
There could be several dominoes that trigger a sequence leading to the end of the bubble but for now it's an unstable equilibrium as billionaires, the US gov all are happy to benefit off of vapid AI hype.
Hype is a limitless resource, hype leads to infusion of investor money, but investor money isn't (well yes and no in the case of the US Fed).
We're in the selling tulip contracts phase so there's still money to be made in the mania but it's anyone's guess as to how long.
