      • it’s rather different than 2008, because credit default swaps were just a bag holder thing, whereas these massive data centers are not only a huge amount of sunk cost capital, but also have extremely high OpEx.
      • that said, I would be 0% surprised if our Captains of Industry (🥴🫩) manage to convince the orange regime to just shell out trillions of our fucking taxpayer dollars to them because line go up
      • and if they do, I hope all the little baby Molotov cocktails that will be born have wonderful, bright, and impactful lives 🥰

      It will not go away, but billions if not trilions of dollars will.

      You can probably make a sustainable business out of AI agents! Having something like Claude Code is pretty neat. I love having it at my side. Would I pay the business rates for it? Hell nah. They need to bring down their cost, gain efficiency. Maybe increase reliability while they are at it.

      There is no infinite growth as long as AI doesn’t learn to act reliably, and on its own. According to experts this is anywhere from 10 to 100 years away. As someome with a CS major, I tend to agree.
