      Oh, we’ll see about that.

      The key difference between tech giants and the banks, is the tech giants aren’t holding everyone’s money hostage.

      Sure, those gen Z kids will lose all their photos of grandma because they couldn’t fathom a world without Instagram, but we’ll cope.

        No, but when the AI bubble bursts it will wipe out between roughly 40% and 60% of the value of the US’s stock market, depending on which estimate you go by. For comparison, the initial crash of 1929 saw the stock market losing around a third of its value.

        So either the government does bail them out, or it’ll be worse than that crash was.

        Neither option is good for the little people
