Comment on Nvidia and OpenAI abandon unfinished $100-billion deal in favour of $30-billion investment

The problem is every CEO knows it’s a bubble, and all are just trying to kick the can down the road long enough they can get out with their money before it bursts.

Everyone knows it’s going to happen. But to admit it would be career suicide, with the amount of money at stake for so many people, it might legit cost them their lives if they’re honest.

Trillions and trillions of dollars that could disappear in the blink of an eye when stock prices hit zero.

And when the big ones go to zero, there’s a very good chance it crashes everything because a few megacorps own everything.

Ironically the real apocalypse AI is likely to cause, is some kind of Mad Max situation after the bubble bursts. Especially in America where necessary infrastructure like food supply is run by private mega corps, if grocery stores are empty for two weeks shit gets insane quick.

  Silver lining: it’s gonna get bad enough we can start nationalizing shit as early as 2029 like FDR did after the great depression.
  
  If a candidate said:
  
  There should be no utilities monoplies by for profit companies
  
  Fucking 99.99% of voters would listen to anything else they had to say.
  
  There’s so many things that need fixed that everyone agrees on, we just haven’t had a candidate free of corporate influence.
  
  But the next Dem primary is a better shot than we’ve ever had. We just need to make sure as many people as possible vote in the primary.

    After electing the orange pedo menace TWICE into office, I sincerely doubt this

    Yeah, they’re really not taking into consideration how effective the propaganda has been over the past 10 years or so. It’s frightening that you literally cannot convince people with facts and logic at this point, and it truly feels unwinnable.

    Huh?
    
    A big reason trump got so many votes is he lied about draining the swamp and his voters are dumb enough to believe him.
    
    They can be dumb and believe someone who means it when they say it.
    
    Like, you’re making a valid point, then reaching the literal opposite conclusion that logic should take us too
    
    We can’t afford to be that shortsighted, think stuff thru.

    So leave it with the oligarchs who are actively brining trump to make it worse?
    
    What the fuck kind of learned helplessness is this?
    
    Yeah they beat and starve us, but if we stop them from doing it someone might show up and if we let them they’d beat and starve us to!!!
    
    Like, fucking newsflash man:
    
    This is a continual fight, and boomers acting like it wasn’t is why shit is like it is today. No matter what happens this fight never stops

They are going to put everyone’s retirement into the money pile. Pull their money out and then shrug when it collapses. How could we have predicted this?
