          The whole tech industry, which is basically the entire US economy at this point, is so horny for i"AI" that they’ve basically bet everything on it. And we have a casino joke economy to. Crashes in any major field bring down everything as idiot investors trade without an idea of what they’re doing. Or the only idea they know is most everyone is using this “AI” stuff too.

            For what it’s worth, I buy this. We had tech bubbles before but this is so big, while also one of the few sources of growth anymore, while real economy is stagnating.
