    Let it pop! Let it pop! No bailouts for billionaires. Just let the fucking system collapse. I’ll happily go back to a trade a barter system of some kind.

      I’m really hoping so, but I think they are going to destroy it before selling it to us for cheap.

    Yes we crashed the economy, but at least we made the C-suite and the sub level guys an absolutely eye-watering, astronomical amount of money while also increasing worldwide hunger and genocide.

      Yes, but consider that AI being successful would maybe let your boss fire you, and they super duper want to fire you and everyone.

    OpenAI promised investors an AI gold rush. Now its projected annual revenue is reportedly $20 billion below earlier expectations. That’s not a rounding error: that’s an entire business empire missing from the spreadsheet. Silicon Valley keeps calling it a revolution, but increasingly it looks like a trillion dollar game of musical chairs, with investors hoping the music never stops.

    I think they may have located a more extreme, even dumber business category than “too big to fail”: “too big to bail out”.
