Something I do find interesting with the popular fediverse wish of ultimate AI bubble dotcom bubble style implosion (slight exageration to summarize):

The most common portfolios people are likely holding are unoptimized, usually single FTSE100/S&P500/MSCI World etc ETF portfolios (there might be some separate EM exposure, broad bond ETFs, some single-topic-funds etc., but in my experience people with those are already outliers).
In the case of the "glorious AI implosion" those would see more than signifcant losses for likely a very substantial amount of time, likely often unbuffered by dividend payments as these portfolios effectively have more than substantial exposure to the central actors of the AI bubble.

Given that a correction of that sector is indeed not unlikely to happen - what are the hedges and mitigations people have prepared for themselves for this risk scenario?
A faint hope for diversification and dollar-cost-averaging to fix it until retiring age?

More than convincing me AI is bullshit, reading about the AI bubble i am increasingly convinced that capitalism is bullshit.

So many resources are wasted trying to make numbers go up so we can waste now resources trying to make numbers go up a bit more. And what are we left with exactly? Was it worth it?

Maybe from the viewpoint of a very select few, but otherwise?

💸🤖🔥 Thiel jumps the rails, dumping every last Nvidia chip dream as the AI bubble shivers. His fund shrinks to a lean ghost of itself while Tesla floats on top like techno flotsam. Circular AI deals spin value from vapor, sharks like Burry circle, SoftBank bolts for OpenAI. #AIBubbleBurst https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/technology/peter-thiel-sells-entire-nvidia-stake-amid-ai-bubble-fears/articleshow/125379608.cms?from=mdr

Actually, the new #BBC #channel4 doc #TheShadowScholars kinda says that #AI has ⭕no effect on STOPPING the 40,000 highly educated #Kenyans who earn their living by #ghostwriting #academicpapers for students in the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, China, etc.

When does the phoney trump empire come crashing down?

If I was looking for a company to short on, it would be Palantir

Palantir might be the most overvalued firm of all time

What would make it worth buying?
