I know the AI bubble is going to burst.

The thing is, I'm not looking forward to it.

"But shouldn't you look forward to AI dying?"

You don't understand. Hedge funds have put your retirement into that shit. Your 401(k). Banks have plowed your savings accounts into it. Your life insurance premiums are being plowed into it.

The financial sector has gone all-in on an investment that shows no real signs of being able to give any sort of ROI.

A lot of y'all weren't fully conscious in 2008, some of y'all weren't even born yet. Subprime mortgages almost brought down the economy. I mean like completely. Millenials couldn't find jobs for years. People wound up living with their parents until their mid 20's. And of course they blamed us for it all, and it wasn't our fault in any way.

@Elizafox it's going down whether we like it or not, but at least right now we can decide, hey, if it's going down and it's going to fuck the economy, we can look at what would be better than the current state of the economy, right? We can look better. We can look at different ways of organizing everything. It's going to be a moment where change is possible. We're acting as if it's like the end of history. But this is like a beginning chapter. Like the end of empires is usually the start of cool new things.
