How Catastrophic Is It If the AI Bubble Bursts? An FAQ

• ErroneousBosh 11mo ago
  About as catastrophic as the NFT bubble bursting, I'd guess. We'd all be better off without people burning a plane ride's worth of energy to answer a question that you could do with a single grep command. There is absolutely no practical use for any of this.

      So people who bought into a scam lose their money. Excuse me while I get the smallest pair of tweezers I own to tune my tiny violin.

        The trouble is that people have started issuing investment-grade debt in relation to all of this. For more information, see the 2008 financial crisis.

  I have a feeling it wont affect canadian non-business individuals much: I see retailers listing prices of $6000 for the max395 type computers, none in stock. Direct from minisforum has one listed for $3200... Tried to buy it, but the bank blocked it as fraudulent transaction. No idea what is even going on these days. If they cant even ship hardware to an entire country, something real fucky is going on
