So... It's a cat. And pretty one. There's some hallucinations going on with floor and furniture but that's ok. So what's wrong with this image besides that? The prompt that generated it... It had nothing to do with cats.

There is certainly an AI bubble, and it's part of a bigger US tech bubble that will soon burst. A third of the value of the S&P 500 is in just 7 tech companies (Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Tesla).
But this in turn is an expression of a much, much bigger problem: there's just too much money looking for returns. All over the world, and for various reasons, people with disposable income are saving far too much - but in most developed countries the biggest reasons are demographic change, too low taxation, the privatisation of state pensions and other welfare safety nets, resource depletion, market saturation and increasing resistance to consumerism and therefore growth.
It's pernicious. We have too much money to invest just at the time we have no decent investments. Fund managers all over the world simply can't get sufficient returns - they MUST create financial bubbles. If it wasn't US tech stocks it would be something else..
Government action could help - using tax and state savings schemes to redirect money into long-term sustainable investments - these have to be in the public sector because the returns will be over very long periods - decades, centuries - and therefore beyond any market logic. Other than this, I see no solution to the underlying financial imbalance other than letting it crash - or rather leaving it to a series of crashes.

I loved Classical Pride at the Barbican a few weeks ago; the #LGBT community are much more than our sexuality or identities. We are fully rounded people with partners, careers, everyday lives, talents, and hobbies. I'd love to see #ArtPride become A Thing. Let me see your watercolours, your sculpture, your ceramics, your making!! Let me hear your music!!
I've put up a pop-up gallery of some of my photos at:

Im Übrigen bin ich der Meinung, daß der öffentliche Nahverkehr nicht durch Ticketverkauf finanziert werden sollte. Ein nicht geringer Teil des Ticketpreises geht ohnehin nur für das Ticket drauf: Herstellung, Verkauf, Kontrolle - völlig unnötig. Und dann noch die Belastung des Steuerzahlys durch Strafen für Schwarzfahren - da kommt Einiges zusammen.

Das Bild zeigt einen Ticketautomaten, der auf einem Gehweg steht. Auf dem Automaten ist ein gelbes Schild angebracht, das in deutscher Sprache Anweisungen für die Zahlung gibt. Darunter befindet sich ein roter Knopf mit der Aufschrift "C" und ein Zahleneingabefeld. Auf der rechten Seite des Automaten ist die Aufschrift "Kein Gott, kein Stoff, kein Ticketautomat" in schwarzer Schrift geschrieben. Im Hintergrund ist ein Mann zu sehen, der an einem Schaufenster vorbeigeht. Der Automaten hat eine graue Oberfläche und ist von einem blauen Rahmen umgeben.

Il furto al duty free, l’interrogatorio e la perquisizione: «Voi restate qui finché non abbiamo finito». Ecco cosa è successo a Pilato e Tarantino a Singapore
Il reato contestato rientra tra i casi di non punibilità: sottrazioni di beni di scarso valore, senza intento di profitto e non abituali. Per questo, le nuotatrici non hanno ricevuto sanzioni pecuniarie ma soltanto un warning, un ammonimento formaleCecilia Dardana (Open)

Das Bild zeigt ein Fußballstadion unter einem blauen Himmel mit weißen Wolken. Der Rasen ist grün und wird von einem Wasserstrahl gegossen, der einen Regenbogen erzeugt. Im Hintergrund sind die Zuschauerränge mit roten Sitzen zu sehen, die teilweise mit Zuschauern besetzt sind. Ein Tor ist im Vordergrund sichtbar, und ein Mann in einem gelben Shirt steht am Rand des Spielfelds. Der Stadionbereich umfasst auch eine rote Laufbahn.

in reply to This spaceship does not exist • • •The image depicts three futuristic spacecraft flying in formation through a dramatic sky. The foreground features a prominent spacecraft with a sleek, angular design, emitting a blue trail from its rear thrusters. Behind it, two additional spacecraft are visible, also with similar designs and blue trails, suggesting high-speed travel. The background is dominated by a large, fiery planet partially obscured by clouds, with a reddish-orange sky filled with billowing clouds. The overall color palette is warm, with shades of orange, red, and brown, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The scene conveys a sense of motion and adventure, typical of science fiction settings.
