    What if it doesnt pop and what we are seeing is the foundation for the dystopian society? Data centers being built will be used to monitor everyone in real time, connected to Ai of course so humans are not needed to watch it.

    I think this is exactly what is happening. There is a huge financial incentive to build that world where humans no longer are needed. Thats why I think this is not a bubble, it just looks like it.

    In the future, they will ask, how come people didnt stop the building of data centers for all of that dystopian stuff. Well, this is why. Its being sold as an improvement for human productivity, when its really about automation and removing the need for many humans to be part of the loop at all.

      I spend way too much time living with this obvious truth-to-come’s future impact on my children. The AI bubble will pop and bring the market down with it, and there will be a net to catch everyone just like the ones that prevent suicides at the FOXCONN factories. I truly hope my children never taste (or become) soylent green but literally everything is on the table after seeing how greedy and cowardly nearly every human is when push comes to shove over the last 5 years.

      The dehumanization frog is being boiled right in front of us, and its way less sophisticated than I ever thought it would be. project2025.observer does a great job at tracking the totality of the christofascist endgame IMO. Dehumanization being normalized will allow them to move on to political opponents heading into midterms.
