The dot-com bubble led to a bunch of useless tech that got built and subsequently scrapped. But the internet of the 2000s and 2010s was built out of the bubble's corpse. It took a couple new generations of technology (telecoms and CPU) and slower thinking to do so.

I believe that useful AI will be built out of the corpse of this bubble. Similarly we need a few more generations of GPU tech to make it viable and slower thinking to make it useful.

The image features a light blue background with three main elements: a blue towel, a red t-shirt, and a washing machine. The towel is positioned on the left side, depicted in a folded state. The red t-shirt is on the right side, shown flat. Between the towel and the t-shirt is a red circle with a diagonal line through a plus sign, indicating a prohibition. The washing machine is centrally located at the bottom, with a front-loading design, a circular door, and a control panel with a dial and a digital display. The overall composition suggests a laundry-related theme, with the prohibition symbol indicating that the towel and t-shirt should not be washed together.

2. Consumer spending: Consumer debt is at an all-time high and price increases from tariffs are finally happening as importers and US manufacturers dependent on imported materials can no longer absorb the extra costs; the spending boom *might* last through Christmas, but it is unsustainable

3. For the first time in more than 80 years the USA is losing its edge as an arms exporter; recent moves by the Administration have caused our biggest customers to start looking elsewhere

[contd]

4. The AI bubble might not pop soon; and if it doesn't the knock on effects from continued AI investment on the economy include:

4.a People out of work as the bosses buy into the AI hype and lay off their workers – this craters consumer spending and increases social costs

4.b Capital that otherwise might flow into other industries is captured by AI, reducing opportunities for creating more resilient businesses

4.c Rapid increases in energy costs

[contd]

Thanks-it builds up quickly, especially with thick yarn.

I hope the kitty doesn’t eat your art! lol

was going to say camp buddies? but then googled it from bitter experience, so no then.

i am just surprised they have not started ww3, but then i suppose they are at war at home.

all of trumps enemies will be falsely imprisoned and sent to the gulags unless he chooses to have them killed.

i am surprised they are not fleeing the country.

anyway it will be bankrupted soon like everything he touches, and implode.

hopefully a normal system can rise from the ashes, and the rich backers of this maniacal shitshow do not escape justice.

who am i kidding?

Chris Taylor: [voiceover] I think now, looking back, we did not fight the enemy; we fought ourselves. And the enemy was in us. The war is over for me now, but it will always be there, the rest of my days as I'm sure Elias will be, fighting with Barnes for what Rhah called possession of my soul. There are times since, I've felt like the child born of those two fathers. But, be that as it may, those of us who did make it have an obligation to build again, to teach to others what we know, and to try with what's left of our lives to find a goodness and a meaning to this life.
