This is how the AI bubble bursts: https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/917380/ai-monetization-anthropic-openai-token-economics-revenue

There is no conceivable way to break even for the AI industry—let alone to repay an investment that requires $2Tn a year from now to the end of the decade. That's about 3% of the entire planetary GNP. Just to break even.

@cstross Hopefully all those people losing their jobs now because AI is taking their job will get hired back. Hope this bursts before they build the ones around me where they will suck our source of drinking water dry in less than 10 yrs.

Industries will burn before the investor class allows them to rehire. Maybe after 35% of the S&P go through bankruptcy we can begin again.
