You’re talking about Google. I’m talking about OpenAI, Anthropic, and to a certain extent Meta. Sure, Google has plenty of money and even they managed to lose some on this deal. The AI economy collapse will ding Google but it will be existential to many of the largest companies in the US market. Several trillion dollars in value will be wiped out of existence. You seem very nonchalant about this; what do you think will happen to OpenAI and Anthropic when the truth of their grift is fully exposed and they go tits-up? What of Oracle who has spent all their money speculatively building data centers? What about Nvidia who sells the shovels in this gold rush? What about Meta who is still paying for their idiotic “Metaverse” and has now gone whole-hog into the AI race, dropping gobs of money in an attempt to “catch up”? What about SpaceXAi or whatever the fuck they’re called now, who went public in order to prop up the loser companies they had to gobble up while they were failing?
edit I’m not even getting into the circular deals and outright grift that’s happening in broad daylight.
Google may be the last man standing, but it will be atop a pile of rubble.
I guess I am a bit nonchalant yeah. Maybe I dont fully understand the impact for the world if these companies would lose 50% of their value in the stock market. It seems to me that it would affect people’s savings, sure. But unless you went all-in on those companies, it shouldn’t wipe anyone out completely. Index funds takes a hit, maybe 20% drop? And in a year it’s back where it was?
Perhaps I do actually not understand the consequences. What would happen? How would it cause something major like a depression?
Yeah, at least a major recession but I think a depression is probable. Were you around for the dot-com crash? I was, and the job loss was everywhere, not just in tech. It was a scary and shitty time. Lots of people lost everything.
I was but too young to suffer. I was still in university when it happened. Also I’m in Sweden so it was much less of an effect here compared to America. I believe you, must have been horrible.
