What happens to the world if bubble never bursts?
Author fears the AI bubble will cause a Weimar-style societal collapse where speculation replaces work, citing NVDA's absurd valuation.
- The market is driven by irrational speculation rather than mathematical fundamentals or real economic contribution.
- Extreme asset inflation could lead to severe societal collapse and historical crises similar to the Weimar Republic.
Seen loads of fellow regards trying to make sense of the fact that anything ever seems to go up; especially if someone says the word ai even if its a shoe company. I myself have started telling women my genitals are AI and have also been getting investors. My regarded input is that there still isnt a maths based explanation of the explosion we saw after covid.
Seen loads of fellow regards laugh it off as market only go up. What scares me most is they're right. Because the side effects of that seem to essentially be the Weimar republic where truly the only way to make money is speculation rather than ever learning a trade and contributing to society. Where ownership itself is the one true industry. I dont know if you guys are big history buffs or not but things got pretty spicey after that. Where Nvidia stock could be worth 3k and cities are on fire and everyone is one one setback away from slavery.
But tbf I have been diagnosed with all sorts from my dribbling doctor who lives under a bridge and keeps asking for change.
