tend to collspse, often suddenly, and that scares the craop out of me.

Right now, AI is the techbro buzzword they are using to extract the maximum in dax dollars from the government to build infrastructure for this wonderful thing that is going to make humanbeings obsolete, no answer on who exactly is going to maintain any of this stuff or buy what it producs (never mind so few people shoving all those tax dollars at them know what AI is or how limited it is in comparison to even a middling sort of human brain). Vast amounts of debts are also being accrued, as every genius out there (sarcasm) wants to get in on the big score and mortgages everything to do it.

This is what is going to cause the next crash. It's coming. It's inevitable, especially with this crowd.

What can we do to prevent it? Nothing. Should we try to prevent it? Nope. Out of the ashes comes reform.
