Oh, that’s where he’s wrong. I think a great many of us will enjoy it.
Well now you know why Warren Buffet cashed out. He’s going to buy all the tech companies on a fire sale.
Translation: we juiced the bubble so good trying to make a trillion dollars that when it pops, the world economy is coming down with it.
More like we juiced the bubble so good trying to make a trillion dollars that you (world governments) better not let it pop.
Any company not using AI for anything will be pretty unaffected when this bubble pops.
Even if they don’t use AI, they probably trade with a company that does.
except their employee benefits package is guaranteed to touch companies impacted by it.
Good luck finding that in any large or even mid-size company. If you think you found one, good chance you probably just found one with a lot of Shadow IT and poor visibility.
If an AI bubble pops, no one is getting out clean.
He means the taxpayers.
Privatize the profits, socialize the losses
“We should privatise service X so it’s more efficient” X collapses “We can’t afford to let X fail despite the fact that it ran at massive profits all the way to it’s collapse so we’ll bail it out” THEN WHAT WAS THE POINT OF PRIVATISING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE?!
You can take on the burden of running the thing and therefore the cost of making it public, or you can allow it to be private with the caveat that they must pay a substantial (enough for the government to not be at a net loss) tax as a kind of insurance in the event a bailout is needed, but don’t take on the worst of both worlds where the profits are private and the losses are public.
Let the taxpayers prop up failing companies. Corpo welfare is the good kind of welfare even though most of the money gets sucked up by the Executives and share buy backs.
At least China is right about not bailing out their companies when their own property bubble collapsed.
The bar can’t be “not as corrupt as America”. That’s not a bar, that’s the ground. They can and should do better.
Oh I’m not trying to defend or exalt China. I’m saying that we should be like China when it comes to dealing with billionaires. Or even better, be like Vietnam, when the court ordered a billionaire who defrauded thousands to pay in time or be executed.
Agreed.
The amount of bailing out should be inversely proportionate to the amount of people fired during record profits.
promises promises.
It will be dirty pleasure fo sho
you’re kidding right?
those billionaites that gambled the US economy on an executive borwnosing machine will get a bailout paid by those who lost healthcare and can’t afford food. 2008 all over again.
We should improve society somewhat.
that sounds like antiameticamism and therefore legally making you a terrorist
I believe the French had a nice invention for that. And it’s not the ‘pain au chocolat’…
tbf the 40 years after the french revolution were called “the terror”
didn’t they ended up with an emperor?
we learned that violent revoluts without unity and theory will succeed in creating another unfair system.
Organise, join local groups, join those groups with other groups.
It makes more sense if you read it as a threat.
Due to the sheer number of articles surrounding the AI bubble popping; I’m coming to the conclusion that this has already started.
The utter lack of self-awareness…
Make no mistake. Just like the housing bubble of 2007 and 2008 there are people poised and ready to make tons of money off of the deflation of the AI bubble.
Jacked to the tits…
The money to be made is on predicting when, not it it’s going to burst. Otherwise we’d all be betting the house on it.
Actually it’s more about the how. The people betting against the housing market put their chips down as early as 2005. They just had to find a way to profit from it.
Interesting. And what was the how back then?
So, they want us all to suffer for their bad decisions? Well that just puts us all on the same playing field (except for the 1%) and at which point, we will revolt and take them (1%) down with us.
Too big to fail is too big to exist. Break them up.
You speak the truth. These idiots sank trillions into a technology that people are very meh about. If it all comes crumbling down, they really, really have nobody to blame but their own greed.
They forced massive shifts across the economy and wasted massive resources chasing a speculative technology all for power. We all suffer because of this and the government refuses to deal with it because we elect business friendly, ambitious liars.
Too big to not let fail.
That was lesson.
I’m sure we managed to avoid learning it.
We all learned the lesson but the people who could implement the lesson refuse to because it isn’t to their personal advantage. We all know what the wise thing to do is but that would disempower some very rich and influential people who should never have been allowed to grow to be so influential over the state, aka us, that we can’t stop them from forcing us to pay for their speculative risk taking.
“I’m gonna take you all down with me!”
Then I’ll ask for a sweet socialist bailout while the rest of you enjoy rugged capitalism.
I’ve taken shits with more value to the human race than Sundar Prichai
