Translator: First post of the new year. My favorite trio of people from whom I began borrowing details for my style... But my hand still refuses to make it look nice.

"Some commentators say market and GDP concentration are poor measures of the size of a stock bubble, or its potential to burst. The market was far less concentrated during the dotcom boom, even though it led to a painful three-year bear market.

But it was far more concentrated during Britain’s 19th-century railway mania — a period that some commentators say has parallels with the AI boom — when stock markets were much less developed than today.

Gareth Campbell, an economic historian at Queens University Belfast, said that unlike other asset bubbles, the railway mania was based on “a very tangible technology which would eventually change the entire system of how people travel”.

At its peak in 1845, hundreds of new lines were proposed and railway investment reached 6 per cent of UK GDP. But the sector was hit by an economic downturn and the realisation that new railways connecting smaller towns would fail to ever find enough passengers. By 1850, railway stocks had tumbled to one-third of their peak and projects were abandoned in droves.

Despite the crash, “the railways would go on to dominate the stock market”, Campbell said. Given the technology’s transformational potential, “I think AI is probably similar,” he added."

Asking Google: ‘After the Ai Crypto bubble, will there be another bubble?’ It answers by being skeptical about bubbles. Bubbles are the effect of unsustainable growth, so there should be no polemics. It is just the populist excuse used by plutocrats and oligarchs to wash their hands while profiteering from the algorithmic control of information processing ground on corporate sovereignty; deregulated markets. Bubbles are justified by grifters not Ai or Ci! #CognitiveIntelligence #Ci #Ai #EcocideEmpire #DeathCultEmpire #Bubbles #ProveMeWrong #GriftingBubbles https://www.google.com/search?q=After+the+Ai+Crypto+bubble%2C+will+there+be+another+bubble%3F&client=firefox-b-m&hs=cQj9&sca_esv=5fc6a171bfa3a3e8&sxsrf=AE3TifMA8U4cyfAzQEL6qt9i05j0wlXlLQ%3A1766993643022&ei=6y5SafuOAeXw7M8P1MaD0As&oq=After+the+Ai+Crypto+bubble%2C+will+there+be+another+bubble%3F&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIjlBZnRlciB0aGUgQWkgQ3J5cHRvIGJ1YmJsZSwgd2lsbCB0aGVyZSBiZSBhbm90aGVyIGJ1YmJsZT8yBxAjGLADGCcyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEcyChAAGLADGNYEGEdI6c4BUABYAHACeAGQAQCYAQCgAQCqAQC4AQPIAQCYAgKgAlGYAwCIBgGQBgmSBwEyoAcAsgcAuAcAwgcHMC4xLjUtMcgHPoAIAA&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp

Are there studies on effective ways of preventing or breaking up bubbles or echo chambers saturated with false information, e.g. "global warming has nothing to do with human activity"? I guess that an education with an emphasis on critical thinking is effective but that is more a long term strategy (I think #Finland does that). Are there studies that demonstrate the efficacy of that critical-thinking approach? How can people be reached who are already trapped in a bubble?

“Moment of Creation”

Bubbles caught in ice resemble the growth of a cellular organism in this photograph of Tatiewa Lake in Japan, taken by Soichiro Moriyama. When water freezes, gases dissolved in it come out of solution, but depending on the speed and direction of freezing, these bubbles do not always escape before ice forms around them, freezing pockets of gas within the ice’s structure.
