    I am really curious if this is the start of the end of the AI boom. And I am curious if the end of AI boom will create a worse recession then 2008, because it seems to me like the only people directly affected will be techbro dickholes and a few billionaires who will hopefully do the same thing brokers did on Black Friday.

      Considering the Burry Billion shorts I suspect this is the beginning of the bubble burst. Will there be a recession? Maybe, but considering that Trump refuses to release the latest economic data and was trying to manipulate it before that it’s likely we were already in a recession to begin with, this would just pull the mask off. The US probably can’t afford a recession, but the world can’t afford for things to continue like they are either.

      Approximately one third of current US stock exchange value is caught up in AI companies, AI investments or AI value predictions. If that goes, especially when it goes quickly, a lot of money will disappear from many wallets.
