      Let the taxpayers prop up failing companies. Corpo welfare is the good kind of welfare even though most of the money gets sucked up by the Executives and share buy backs.

    Due to the sheer number of articles surrounding the AI bubble popping; I’m coming to the conclusion that this has already started.

    you’re kidding right?

    those billionaites that gambled the US economy on an executive borwnosing machine will get a bailout paid by those who lost healthcare and can’t afford food. 2008 all over again.

    “I’m gonna take you all down with me!”

    Then I’ll ask for a sweet socialist bailout while the rest of you enjoy rugged capitalism.

    Make no mistake. Just like the housing bubble of 2007 and 2008 there are people poised and ready to make tons of money off of the deflation of the AI bubble.

    Big tech has never seen common people as anything but data. It’s funny they now are concerned for what will happen to us if their bubble bursts

    Don’t worry, I’m sure there will be a huge government bailout that the people have no say in. Remember 2008? I don’t remember voting to give away piles of money to the bankers.

    You know what Iceland did when there was suspicious investing and they had bank failures? They put the bankers in jail! What did we do? We gave them a bonus!

    God bless America, because we’ll need it!

      America is really bizarro world compared to other countries and how they handle things like this.

      It just seems like in America, you can fail upwards, con people and still get out filthy rich.

        you can fail upwards, con people and still get out filthy rich.

        Only if you con the poors. If you con someone who’s rich or “powerful”, then you get punished.

        It’s only bizarre until you realize this isn’t a failure of the system. This is a success for the people getting the payout. They have lobbied and deeply infiltrated the government. The US government doesn’t serve the citizenry anymore. It serves the rich and powerful. The rest of us are just useful as consumers to funnel money to the corporations.

    This is a threat. They know that they’re using the stock market to fund their greed and that anyone with savings tied up there (Retirement funds that are invested in the market) will be on the hook. Plus the tax payer money they’re going to ask for because they’re “too big to fail”.

      I was opposed to the bailouts in 08’, and I’m severely against any of these fuckers getting more resources to attack me. It’s absurd. What’s more absurd is that both aisles will support it, but Americans healthcare will be at 5k a month 😂〽️

      Cleptocracy much?

    The sooner the better. Less LLM infatuation means better customer service, less overall environmental impact, and more water available to cities.
