"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This sort of idiotic bandwagoning unmoored from reality and sensibility is one of the big reasons I no longer treat the stock market with any seriousness. The market drops because… checks notes… the unsustainable bubble that is already starting to pop is probably going to get reined in, and tariffs are probably going to be repealed leading to increased international trade…? 😐

The US market is expected to drop because the US market is massively overloaded with bubble tech stocks. DJIA and VGK (FTSE Europe ETF) are up in extended hours. Even VUG (Vanguard Morningstar Growth; US growth stocks ETF) is up.

Ah, I am glad this Blue Tsunami is going to make the parasites panic. But we need to make sure to capitalize on this victory. As it is useful if we make our new reps actually wield their power! If we can make the rich elite panic as a bonus action and keep them reeling, this will be the perfect time to separate a rich person from their money. Got to keep it cute, fresh, and fun!

We'll see if the oligarchs are too stupid to wait until January to crash the economy. Got to wait until the dems are seated before you blame it all on them!
