Maybe the thinking is that if by investing in AI companies they can either increase the size/duration of the bubble (if it's a bubble), or speed up the growth of the industry (if it's not a bubble), that can lead to more inve

I can't speak for Australia, but in general you definitely don't need to burn for increased cancer risk - a clear example of that is the fact that artificial UV tanning beds lead to significantly increased rates of cancer despite
