The wide-brimmed Sombrero galaxy is revealed in all its splendor by a telescope in Chile.
@AssociatedPress reports: "Located approximately 30 million light-years away, this spiral galaxy — formally known as Messier 104 — is one of the largest in the constellation Virgo cluster."
The Sombrero galaxy and its glowing halo of stars have never looked this good. The latest photo of the popular hat-shaped galaxy was released on Friday. A telescope in Chile observed the popular galaxy four years ago, but the color imaging was not completed until this week. Located 30 million light-years away, this spiral galaxy is one of the largest in the constellation Virgo cluster. It's formally known as Messier 104 and is an estimated 50,000 light-years across. Astronomers discovered the galaxy back in the 1700s.

"AI" is a huge redistribution scheme from the bottom to the top. It pays off for the billionaires no matter how big the bubble is. All we can do is limit the damage.
Pointing out the lack of profitability of "AI" products is pretty much meaningless. Investors have been speaking about this for years WHILE making billions from their investments into "AI". It is profitable for them, and that is what they care about.
I wrote about this already some time ago:

More and more commentators talk about and warn of an “AI bubble”, and everybody seems to congratulate each other on being such a smart financial analyst. BUT: A bubble pops and you are left with air and maybe a splash of soap somewhere on the floor. A fairly clean affair. This kind of investor speak
Though I have been trained as a soldier, and participated in many battles, there never was a time when, in my opinion, some way could not be found to prevent the drawing of the sword. I look forward to an epoch when a court, recognized by all nations, will settle international differences.
