AI companies have bought out Western Digital's storage capacity for 2026. It's only February.

    I think people don’t realise that if AI fails, it’s pretty much guaranteed to collapse the US economy.

      I’ve lived though several “one in a live time” crashes.

      Meh, not really a full collapse. Just like 75% of it and a huuuuge recession. Or maybe a “Tiny Depression”? Basically, 10 years to recover. Which is where we’re going anyway, with or without AI.

        10 years on top of the generations to recover from economic and social policy being shat out by a deranged geriatric.

          the remaining question is if its effects are additive or multiplicative

      And if AI doesn’t fail, people will be unemployed.

      Yep, either way, your job is toast.

      AI succeeds: AI takes your job.

      AI fails: Economy crashes and you lose your job due to the crash.

      Fine.

      The market is a joke, needs massive corrections.

      Good luck everyone.
