The guardian once again forgetting that these two things are intrinsically linked and that one worry is the same as another

You mean most people aren’t FOMO’d into AI stocks and instead just want to put food on the table?

Well I noticed that most fields are now actively integrating Ai in their activities but they still encourage human insights, I think it’s called “ human in the loop“

This isn’t surprising.
Most people understand that AI can do a bunch of stuff and will likely lead to lay offs.
Most people don’t understand what a bubble actually means and what would happen if it bursts.

Ai bubble is a portfolio problem and layoffs is a survival problem

Bubble pops —> Layoffs occur

I fear both? Getting laid off and my retirement portfolio going up in smoke just when a see retirement on the not too distant horizon

Fear is not the right word. Is there a word for “it’s already happening right now all around me and I just don’t know when it’s going to be me”?
Like every morning when you go to log into your computer and it feels like Russian roulette on weather it’s going to let you in our not.

AI companies are filling their bubbles at record speed. Its like speed running to the bottom. If these companies had any sense they would slow the roll-out, spend less and become profitable sooner. The amount of money being spent on AI may never show a profit.

We’re hoping the bubble pops.

The two topics go hand in hand, especially with how western capitalism reacts to a bursting bubble: mass layoffs.
Negative inflation? Mass layoffs
A bit of spooky feelings in the stock market: mass selloffs followed by mass layoffs.
Then watch a bunch of the richest humans on the planet grow even fatter as they snap up everything they can while the prices are way down

here is the simple truth. our current economic model is not fit for the rapidly expanding ability of machines to perform large parts of the knowledge work currently done by people, and the more slowly increasing ability of machines to take over aspects of manual jobs which previously required human oversight. we can argue about the pace, but the outcome is only a question of time.
meanwhile, „most people“ aren’t worried about an AI bubble? they should be. a vast economic collapse when the capital dries up is going to wipe out their 401ks (again) (if they even have them) and all the people who have been fired in the name of the AI dream will be competing to be hired back at half the salary.
we therefore urgently need societal discussions about the new economic models which can enable human happiness and prosperity in a world where most human work is no longer relevant.
it’s going to be a bumpy road.

What do they think an economic bubble is exactly?

Regardless if it pops or not, layoffs will still happen.

I think there’s going to be a lot of pain in ‘26 regardless of whether or not the AI bubble pops. Buckle up, folks.

I would actually prefer it if this AI bubble burst and we could go back to not having crap AI stuffed into everything.

It’s all bad my guy. The bubble propping up the economy as well as a race to an outcome that isn’t just going to end skilled labor but question the value of humanity entirely.
Everything else is marketing.

You mean the #1 fear isn’t having more data centers? Fake.

…and what happens when the AI bubble pops? Corps that have invested heavily into „AI“ will lose their asses which means, you guessed it, mass layoffs. Don’t know what’s worse, the corps thinking they can replace people with „AI“ or the bubble popping.

Fretting? Fear?
I’m hoping for this bubble to pop, and I don’t think I’m alone. We need it. It’s going to suck. But we *need* it. We need that correction and to move on to actually productive things.

Real shitty thing is we will have both

Can’t fear getting laid off if you already got laid off 😎

If AI works we’re all screwed. If AI doesn’t work we are also all screwed
