@rootwyrm@weird.autos @MedeaVanamonde@beige.party @pndc@social.treehouse.systems @cstross@wandering.shop : I’m really perplexed by the fact that "everybody talk about the bubble but it doesn’t pop" Will it takes way more time than expected? Will the burst be invisible because of a collapse of FIAT money at the same time ? Current situation doesn’t make any sense but the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent

@ploum@mamot.fr @rootwyrm@weird.autos @MedeaVanamonde@beige.party @pndc@social.treehouse.systems @cstross@wandering.shop This time around we have musk-ish tech bros who are high on their own shit doing the investing. The market is being propped up on their celebrity image.

@ploum@mamot.fr @rootwyrm@weird.autos @MedeaVanamonde@beige.party @pndc@social.treehouse.systems @cstross@wandering.shop my memory of 2008 is that the bubble talk went on for months, possibly as early as 2007. And also that the trigger wasn't the talk, it was Lehman Brothers, and everyone was surprised by the exact timing. There are a lot people motivated to keep this going as long as possible even with the market clearly being a bubble. I think it will pop when an ai company can't find money to make a loan or bill payment, and then all of it will collapse.
