> if AI fails to deliver, it fails to deliver for everyone and the people that bought into the hype can blame the consultants / whatever.

Understatement of the year. At this point, if AI fails to deliver, the US economy is going to crash. That would not be the case if executives hadn't bought in so hard earlier on.





Race to "Too big to fail" on hype and your losses are socialized

And if it does deliver, everyone's gonna be out of a job and the US economy is also going to crash.

Nice cul-de-sac our techbro leaders have navigated us into.


Yep, either way things are going to suck for ordinary people.

My country has had bad economy and high unemployment for years, even though rest of the world is doing mostly OK. I'm scared to think what will happen once AI bubble either bursts or eats most white collar jobs left here.


There’s also a case that without the AI rush, US economy would look even weaker now.
