You’re saying th AI bubble hasn’t popped because even more smaller companies and individuals are getting in on the action?
Thats kind of the definition of a bubble actually. When more and more people start trying to make money on a trend that doesn’t have that much real value in it. This happened with the dotcom bubble nearly the same. It wasn’t that the web/tech wasn’t valuable, it’s now the most valuable sector of the world economy, but at the time the bubble expanded more was being invested than it was worth because no one wanted to miss out and it was accessible enough almost anyone could try it out.
- Comment on Human civilization won't last forever; someday there will be a last movie ever made 1 week ago:
Since movies take lots of time to make and being “finished” is an arbitrary decision made by the director and/or producer, it would be nearly impossible to pinpoint one as the last.
Kind of like a musician’s last song. Was it the last one they published, recorded, or wrote? What about the last song they half wrote or maybe recorded some partial demos?
- Comment on YSK Employers do NOT verify your total work history unless you're applying for a government position. 1 week ago:
They want you to need them. If you don’t need them, you might be thinking independently. You might not go along with it when they want you to do unreasonable things.

It’s not new, just getting worse, huh?

But then it won’t matter. The problem is that this looks like ass and didn’t need to be made with an AI image generator. It could easily be made with any free word processor and a picture of an embryo found anywhere.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 3 weeks ago:
The metric of per kg of product, while entirely fair, can be a bit misleading when it comes to making high impact decisions in your life. The switching to tea example is a good one to criticize because on this chart coffee is quite high up there, but I consume only 15g of coffee a day, compared to probably close to a kg of meat, egg, and dairy. Eliminating coffee would not be a high climate impact decision.

From your own source on “true” unemployment, it’s the lowest it has been since they started calculating it. It peaked in 09 at 35% and again in COVID, but all through the early 00s it was between 28% and 30%.
You can’t use that number as evidence we “already crashed”, because as we’ve seen in other actual crashes it spikes up to 35%.
