  Don’t you worry it’s gonna have a global impact againjudt like it did in 08. Imagine losing your job in Italy for instance cause some bankers got ultra rich in the US. What a dumb fucking world.

    Ha! Jokes on you. My state is so poor it was the least affected by the 2008 crisis. Wait, that still sucks, only more…

    I don’t think 2008 really had a significant effect in Australia. I don’t remember hearing much about it.

    I didn’t feel anything of it in Europe.

      It destroyed the budget of scientific research in Spain. I was a Spanish researcher then. There was a point when universities couldn’t pay us the grant that the government had already assigned to us. Some of my peers missed rent. I heard stories of Spanish PhD. students stranded all over the world. I quit research (my dream job at the time) because of this crisis and never came back to it.

      Happy you felt nothing in your happy little bubble.

      I know plenty people who are currently homeless in Europe originally lost their job following the 2008 crash.

  Fine.

  The market is a joke, needs massive corrections.

  Meh, not really a full collapse. Just like 75% of it and a huuuuge recession. Or maybe a “Tiny Depression”? Basically, 10 years to recover. Which is where we’re going anyway, with out without AI.

    10 years on top of the generations to recover from economic and social policy being shat out by a deranged geriatric.

      the remaining question is if its effects are additive or multiplicative

  Yep, either way, your job is toast.

  AI succeeds: AI takes your job.

  AI fails: Economy crashes and you lose your job due to the crash.

  It’s not if but when. Hopefully sooner rather than later. And you’re a fool if you think the implications won’t be felt around the world. Just like they were when Americans rammed the housing market into the ground. We live in a global economy.
