To clarify my own statement. I mean not going to yield results proportional to the amount put into them. You can double the investment and not get double the return. I think this is reflected in the wacky P/E ratios we see in the market for AI related stocks.

The massive amount of capital put into AI is not going to yield results. There will be mostly losers and only a few winners. This is assuming AI sticks around and is the paradigm shift that many people believe it will be.

If it's entirely fake, just a bunch of nonsense that people wasted money on, then it will pop quickly. But if it's somewhat real, like the dot-com boom. We'll see society transformed, and a lot of failed businesses, some of them very stupid, scattered along the information superhighway.

If this is a bubble like the housing bubble. Well, remember that even though a lot of people were underwater on their mortgage. Those homes never went to zero. It was worth something to someone, but there were a lot of people who lost everything in the exchange. And a handful of people who profited a great deal.

So expect that GDP will go up, even when the AI bubble pops. And that the middle class retirement accounts are going to be absorbing most of the hit. Because someone else, probably someone very rich, is going to still come out ahead. They almost always do.

Our nation is at risk during a prolong conflict or embargo as long as we remain dependent on foreign oil. Reducing the amount we use is the most obvious path out, this allows our own reserves to stretch much further.

But MAGA is not ran by smart people. Evil people sure, but not ever evil villain is an evil genius, some are just thugs.

There will be a correction. There is ALWAYS a correction.

Complaining is communism and therefor treason.

But my sleep apnea!

Thanks Obama/Trump/Biden/Trump!

Expect a leveling off of consumer hardware, both in terms of RAM capacity but also in processing performance.
Browser developers are going to have to accept that a tabs can't be allowed to eat 1 GB+ each, and start optimizing software instead of expecting users to throw more hardware at it.

Sadly, I know that browsers are just going to go into some kind of Cloud AI navel gaze and it may be years before they get back to making useful software.

Is this some kind of German humor?

Apple has long treated thier own customers with a certain level of disrespect. It is the way of luxury brands, to question if you're good enough to deserve their products.

Musk's own bombastic promises have evrything to do with how he is treatedin the media.

Which Old Testament laws do I follow and which do I ignore? The Old Testament law was given to the ancient nation of Israel, not to Christians. So if the law isn't repeated in the New Testament, then it's probably not applicable to anyone living outside of Israel.

Ugh, that's a soft science. We're doing hard science, which is the only real science.

Sit at home, with home invasions on the rise?!

Having a U2 album you need to delete is not the worst thing you will face in life. Imagine a world where your boss gave you a free ticket to his daughter's violin recital. It's a "free" ticket, but man there are so many strings attached. And your time isn't free but it's also nice to have a paying job.
