@yugthebug The problem is unregulated capitalism. The billionaires will take some losses when the bubble burst. But it is nothing for them compared to the ordinary people and companies who get roped into this AI hype, dismissing personnel to be replaced by AI, face sudden subscription spikes, go under or reorganize, dismissing even more people. Which triggers a real estate crisis resulting in a financial crisis, ordinary people who live from salary to salary get effed and the domino effect goes on. And that’s only the economy. The added waste of resources that this AI bubble brings, contributes to the climate crisis greatly, which means even more upheavals and wars for fresh water, minerals and energy. By then, not being able to afford RAM is the least of our troubles. That’s one possible outcome. The techbros could also bank on us subscribing to their hardware lend-lease model. Which will still be a problem.
