When will we simply accept that it’s a bubble and move on, instead of pouring a relentless amount of resources into it.

    Sure it will burst, companies will go bankrupt, millions of peoples retirement savings will disappear, and many will suffer /die from the economic aftershock…

    BUT

    The rich will have already realized their dividends / capital gains

    The rich will have already purchased the land / property

    The rich will already have the data centers / ram / AI

    They rich will have their assets and eat ours to

    The whole system is a kleptocracy and the AI bubble bursting will make late stage capitalism worse not better.

        You may or may not be surprised by how many people call me an AI shill for acknowledging that.

            If people in general had the economic/historic background knowledge to understand what’s actually coming we wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place.

            Unfortunately people are powerless, angry, and grasping at straws with regards to cheering for the AI bubble to burst.
