Almost no one in the country is feeling a boom. Everyone is feeling the consequences of their greed and recklessness.

- boringg 5mo agohuh? What are you are referring to is the lasting impacts of multiple years of inflation after living without it for 10 years. Those issues predate Musk v. Altman and would be happening without them. AI build out / boom would be full bore without them.
- Arainach 5mo agoThere is no boom. There are massive layoffs, massive inflation, and massive cuts to government services - all caused by the actions of Musk, Altman, and those like them.
- boringg 5mo agoSaying there is no AI boom? You are either lying to yourself or not paying attention to whats whappening. Are there problems? Absolutely - there have been problems at every single second of humanity. We will always be plagued with problems at some times worse than others. That does not mean that there isn't a boom at the same time.
- platevoltage 5mo agoThere is a boom, but It's a boom for a few thousand people in the country. Everyone else is seeing their energy bills go up, and I can't get a Raspberry Pi for under $100.
- scottyah 5mo agoAI is the only thing keeping the S&P afloat. You don't want to see what it would look like when all pensions numbers start going down. So far it's fake numbers from inflation and the value is decreasing dramatically, but at least they still go up.
- Arainach 5mo agoI very much do want to see. A necessary step to fix our problems is for people to stop lying to themselves and thinking things are "going fine". A plurality of American voters are stubborn and stupid and won't change their ways until they feel direct pain, so bring the pain.
- platevoltage 5mo agoThere's no way you think that will be sustainable even in the short term.
