    For those of you cheering for the AI bubble to pop…

    AI investments now accounts for about 40% of the United States’ GDP growth in 2025, and AI companies are responsible for 80% of growth in American stocks.

    …are you not scared shitless?

    This is not the dotcom bust, and it’s far fucking worse than the 2008 housing crisis. And to think when I was young the Savings and Loan crisis was a big deal. We’re on the edge of Great Depression 2.0.

      the longer the bubble keeps going, the worse it will be… those of us convinced this is already a massive bubble believe the best time for it to pop was yesterday, the next best time is right now

      I personally prefer to rip off the band aid than let it stink and get it infected. I’m scared for the time remaining before the pop. This shit is intolerable. Let it “pop”. Let it burn.

      We’re fucked. No point being scared of something we have no control over. A few rich men will come out of this ahead, and the rest of us will fight over the scraps, lose our homes, and starve. 🤷‍♂️
