Opened inkscape for the first time and put together something now that these ai companies are just flat out saying that we don't deserve ram.

The subprime mortgage shit was only profitable because they got bailed out by the government tho

Hopefully it doesn’t happen again, but if it does, the difference is that AI companies, if bailed out directly, would immediately lose all of the bailout money. If the banks got bailed out, I doubt they would give any more money to the AI people

    It was bailed out because the people who drop cash into elections (large investors) would have been impacted.

    If it got to bailout for AI, they'd profit from the bailout, talk it up for retail, have their market news correspondents talk up about how there is huge profit to be made to get more retail investors (ie: bagholders) roped in, and profit off the drop.

    This is what history tells me, you can come to your own conclusions of course, but IMO... AI is just the newest vehicle for the same story we've seen cycle (faster every time it seems) over the past.... Well, century at this point. Maybe more but before the stock market I'm without examples I'm personally aware of.

    I hear what you’re saying, but I think people have finally become wise to their game, so it would be interesting to see how they react to it this time around (especially considering how much less they have to justify it this time around)
