Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq set for mixed start after AI carnage led to worst day for techs since 2020; jobs report on tap: live updates

The AIs they created were and are also basically the largest scale of fraud ever perpetrated on the people of the world. They told us it was intelligent. They told us it was super-intelligence. They told us it was conscious. They told us it was learning on their own. They told us it could do anything we ever dreamed of. They told us it would do all our jobs. They told us it was dangerous. They told us it could destroy the world. They told us that our enemies would use it. They told us it would accelerate exponentially. They told us it was the future.

It was all a scam, a disingenuous, dishonest fraud to bilk investors, governments, and ultimately the people of the world out of money that could've saved, fed, clothed, housed, healed, protected and supported millions, money that could've been used to slow down climate change, money that could've been used to deliver justice. Instead used to pile electronics into huge concrete boxes so they can burn fossil fuels for no good reason using loans to cover the losses of actually providing the services just so the illusion of these things being useful can be maintained. The money was just burned, tossed into jet turbines and turned into greenhouse gases and nothing else of value. Instead of helping with climate change, they contributed to it. For nothing. For selfish, myopic, temporary vanity.

We will never get that money back. We should try to claw it back from the crooks and the liars who took it, but I'm not naive, it won't work. They will not make amends. They won't be punished, not meaningfully. They are too big to fail. The economic growth must go on, no matter how fictional. The money is gone. And a big chunk of our future with it.

What a waste.
