But he does not say *why* other companies will be affected by the "AI" bubble bursting.

The bubble is being inflated by massive companies (Google, Amazon, Microsoft) who have effective monopolies. When it bursts, they can increase their charges to companies to recoup their losses.

I recently witnessed something you've written about but I dud not believe:

Too middle of the road.

This video summed up a lot of what I was feeling about the billionaire class dressing themselves in “serious science” garb

This is important, because some in the Humanities are now using the "AI" bubble as ammunition in a reignited Humanities vs STEM war.

Three days after 9/11 I went through airport security carrying a penknife.

It was a keying, so both I and security did not think of it as "a knife".

At University in London in the late 1980s I had the attitude that people like me *never* used taxis, because they were too expensive.

It took 3 decades of well-paid jobs to unlearn that.

I think "genAI" is *even worse* than simply not producing useful infrastructure as a side benefit. When the bubble bursts, the businesses with massive losses to cover are all effective monopolies: Amazon, Google, Microsoft. They will make *us* pay for it, by upping prices on ubiquitous services.

It amuses me that the Battleship piece in Monopoly is rather clearly a French predreadnought.

What the fuck are "biological pronouns?" This is the dumbest thing I've ever read in service of endorsing the bullying of trans kids. Half the world uses languages that don't have gendered pronouns and these illiterate and ignorant judges are creating entirely nonsensical concepts.

Here at Hellscape Ltd. so little code makes being human easy because so many management decisions were made without regard to the humanity of the programmers.

Without government guidance on keeping tapirs, it's only a matter of time before they escape captivity, acquire intelligence, and enslave their former masters. Madness!

There's money to be made planting suicide notes on behalf of insurance companies.
