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.

I'm guessing that the bubble will pop in 12 to 18 months.

I can see them generating this level revenue.

I wonder whatbthats going to look like for the rest of the economy? 🥺

@simonzerafa @cstross I've been saying the AI bubble is about to pop for over 30 months now.

Unfortunately, even though you can identify when a tree is rotten, you can never predict exactly when a big enough gust of wind will come to finally blow it down.

Last time I heard wind being used in the context of economy, it was a metaphor for high interest rates.
We could use some of those.
