We’re damned both ways with AI. Either it’s a massive bubble that will pop or it does what it’s intended to do and automates a large portion of the workforce.

Edit: removed a comment about Ai investors getting bailed out because it was secondary to my main point

Investors weren't bailed out following the pop of the dot com bubble. I don't think that AI investors will be bailed out afterward if this is another bubble.

Investors in the dotcom bubble were different than the investors in AI, IMO. The current run is led by tech giants, not VCs. How much money are VCs throwing around, compared to FAAMG? They will find a way to get the money back, somehow.

Housing was another bubble, and those investors got bailed out. “Too big to fail”, I believe, is still the prevailing neoliberal wisdom. This is quite a large bubble and seemingly one of the only bright spots in the US economy.

I give it a 85%+ chance of a bailout when the tech bubble pops.

Dot com pop caused significant repercussions for many people. I don’t think GP implied the AI bubble would get bailed out, just that if it pops, life gets unpleasant for lots of folks.

I think that the parent comment was edited after I replied. I wouldn't have said anything except for the original mention of an investor bailout.
