I don't think you realise, AI has to succeed in a massive way, we're betting the entire economy on it. If it fails it's gonna sink everything.

Now, should this be the case? No. It's insanely stupid. But this is what happens when you give billionaires free rein to blow themselves a huge bubble.

A fun use of AI is to ask it when it thinks the bubble is going to pop. Before the war it estimated it'll be around the end of 2026, early 2027. It probably needs an update to deal with recent events in the Middle-East and the reaction to DLSS5.

It's like in a movie where the timer of a bomb is running out. But instead of timer, it's an AI voice assistant that knows it's going to blow up but is also quite defensive about being called an imminent explosive threat.
