    It’s bizarre to think how much this ‘AI revolution’ holds similarities to the introduction of the internet: the market bubble, the over-saturation of adoption by companies without any actual strategy for system integration, the whole general over-hype. I remember in high school and uni discussing with my parents how I couldn’t fathom studying computer science without the internet; I’m sure the kids in the future will be saying the same about AI.

    The US is also heading for a debt crisis. I wonder when the stock market crash comes, will Trump’s attempts to ‘fix’ it be what finally ends the dollar’s day as world reserve currency?

      It probably won’t be a singular crash. The .com bust really had no singular crash, more like a series of economic issues spanning 6+ years working themselves out. Plenty of stocks that were $200/share limped along at $10/share until the Great Recession consolidated everything into monopolies and oligopolies with 0% interest loans and no antitrust enforcement.

    Crypto seems similar…a very large bubble, placing value on something that has no actual intrinsic value nor substance.
