  Nice metaphor, I wish few would pop without hurting too badly the idiots that believe the lies and more importantly without hurting anyone who pointed out how ridiculous it all was. Unfortunately I’m rather convinced people at the helm of Microsoft, OpenAI, VC pumping the bumbles, are financially smart enough to be entirely disconnected from any consequence of their own actions.

    They don’t need to be smart. They have money. The system is for them. Shocks will be absorbed by parts of society that exist to be stepped on, who need to be disciplined and stay under pressure to function without risk of unionization/revolt.

      The only thing that trickles down are costs.
