> The global economy has become dependent on the AI industry.
Bold to open with a false statement.
its kinda impressive how we are building everything around „it’ll make sense later“
What if the point of AI is not to make money but to control the world?
Ai will replace entire industries. Revenue from large parts of our economies will be diverted to a small group of companies. It’s a heist. I believe one that is, at least in my industry, succesful. This bubble is not going to pop.
„Billionaire wealth has doubled so far this decade“
Honestly? I want to go back to cryptobros buying GPUs. At that time, AI was not a big topic, most everything else was available and there were no multi-pronged economic desasters happening. Perhaps brewing, at the most.
> the industry is highly dependent on the Middle East, which has been destabilized by the war in Iran. A global energy shock seems all but certain to come soon—the kind where even the best-case scenario is a disaster. The war could grind the AI build-out to a halt. This would be devastating for the tech firms that have issued historic amounts of debt to race against their highly leveraged competitors…
If it’s a bubble, then it will eventually pop, and usually the sooner the better, as the bigger a bubble the bigger the pop. If the Iran war triggers the poppage sooner, it might be a blessing in disguise.
