Mid 2026 would be much better!
God I hope it just fucking collapses and pulls every other tech company down with them. I'm so fucking sick and tired of coworkers thinking ChatGPT is the most perfect thing that has ever been made. Every single fucking time I'm searching for something I'm asked "Why don't you just ask ChatGPT". They will not shut the fuck up, even when I show them ChatGPT is completely full of shit. Want it to write a simple 40 line script for Excel? Sure, just spend 30 minutes telling it, its code doesn't fucking work, because it's trying to use functions that don't excist. "You're totally right, and so clever for pointing that out! Here's an updated script that takes that into account", still doesn't fucking work.

I feel this, after searching for packages in apt that not only don't exist for debian, but in general
And the cool part is that the USA stock market gains for the last couple years are based on OpenAI (and others) promising to buy stuff sometime in the future to build their data centres, which in turn spins into reinvestment in the company and a giant circlejerk.
AKA a Ponzi scheme. If you think watching the Twin Towers collapse in NYC was frightening, wait until this house of cards falls.
if you thought the bank bailouts in 08 were ridiculous, just wait until the AI bailouts
With what money? Trump is adding a trillion in debt every six months and we are running out of allies
are you under the assumption that GOP has any qualms whatsoever about robbing the american taxpayer of every red cent, if it means enlarging the profits of billionaires at the expense of the 99%?
No but just like South Africa cannot sell trillions in debt, soon the US will not either because we are quick alienating the world and trading partners. If people do not think the US is credible and viable, nobody buys our debt
The difference is that for decades the flight to safety has been the US dollar in economic downturns. Now, people can't wait to dump the dollar; the flight to safety has been shifting to gold, silver, and even the Yuan.
When the bubble pops, it'll be be an economic fuckening we've likely not seen.
Starting to wonder if it's worth turning some of my savings to regular ass gold.
You are most certainly not alone; I've seen skeptics say that it's doomsday-prep-crazy, but any statements like that are, in my opinion, denialism in this day in age. A regular savings account isn't a viable place to store absolutely all of your money, even since before the Trump admin started fucking things up. A diversified portfolio with safe investments after a certain point is the ideal way to handle it.
Only difference now, is that what a "safe investment" has mutated into is something else now; not to mention how little people can afford to save money. Do what you can to take care of yourself with what you have man.
Also banks going bankrupt can do incredible damage (this is why I'm a strong opponent to private banking. They should be public services, not for-profit corpos). Tech companies going under is bad but not too-big-to-fail bad.
The assumes that retirement and savings accounts don't invest in the tech companies.
He sees this as a temporary problem for AI providers, though, as agentic AI becomes more entrenched in daily people's lives, it'll become harder to switch, as the bots should eventually have all your shopping preferences, aspirations, and emotional profile mapped out —perhaps even better than yourself.
God what a dystopian sentence that is.
That's assuming millions of people switch to agentic browsers and use them agentically. A big assumption.
There's easily millions of people in the US alone that do not know any better and will do exactly that.
building my next pc late 2027 then
I just pulled the trigger yesterday. I don’t see prices coming down in a reasonable time, and the bundle at my local Microcenter was the same price as when I first looked a little under a year ago.
Bold of you to assume these companies won't just keep price gouging us, they've done it before.
Too long, these assholes are fucking up everything from the economy to medicine at great individual and societal cost.
Wish it were sooner
I'm smart enough to know that when the bubble bursts it's going to mess with the world economy, apparently way worse than the 2008 recession, but I'm too stupid to understand why. I just hear people say things and it would be nice to see these assholes get wrecked for once and not just rake in some cash and dip in time while the rest of the world is left to pay the clean up bill for a party they were never invited to.
I mean, I watched the big short and the only thing I understood from that movie was that the bad guys won and everybody else lost. So I am sorta preparing for the worst here xD
The first 10 minutes of Fun with Dick and Jane might make more sense than any explanation I could offer.
My conspiracy theory: The plan is to fail and sell the data centers to Microsoft for pennies on the dollar.
I think Apple is much more desperate for that gamble than Microsoft.
Can you explain why? Microsoft seems to have bet the farm on AI, Apple certainly has a less sure future than they have had since the mid 00s but they still have a firm grip on the smart phone market, at least in the US
God I hope it all collapses before the end of trumps term.
God I hope it all collapses <immediately, and causes> ... the end of trumps term.
Id say i cant wait, but theyll probably get bailed out and everything will become more expensive as the economy crashes. So thats cool
May it happen even sooner.
Burn baby burn
