If any of this shit made sense and worked like it was supposed to we wouldn’t be in this position in the first place. Seemingly the world leaders and everyone in the inner circles has completely abandoned any long term hope for their positions in the current system and are preparing for the next system. It really is true that the Earth has too many people and I think the long term planners are letting climate change happen without preparing the masses so fewer, stronger people survive. There is people planning this shit it’s not just arbitrarily short-term profits for the sake of it.
Onward, the Butlerian Jihad!
I just got Qwen 3.8 Flash Next running locally. It’s damn good on an older machine with a newer GPU. Local LLMs should scare them the most.
This is silly, we can just print more money to cover the losses, ez pz !!!
It will be interesting to see, but stories have come out for a while about some thing will pop the bubble, and a big recession has been right around the corner for at least a decade. What stage is this bubble in the progression to the .com pop, months, a year? Or is this different, with more profitable companies investing in infrastructure, rather than speculative startups without clear revenue plans? That was part of the take MMM made and I want to be hopeful. It reminded me about my circle of control, reduce attachment to outcomes beyond it, but do what I want within my circle. mrmoneymustache.com/2026/09/25/will-the-ai-bubble-destroy-our-retirement/
This is poised to be the biggest financial crash in history. These assholes are fighting every day to push the crash further away so they can divest themselves quietly or make ot to an IPO, and in doing so are making the upcoming disaster much worse.
And so much investment has been dumped into this scheme I don’t know how our economic system.will survive. Unchecked capitalism needs to go away, but having it collapse all at once is gonna be really, really bad.

I can’t imagine how much money Google is losing right now. They do 8.5 to 13.7 billion searches a day (+1 because I just googled that). By forcing LLM first, they’ve got to be burning cash.
Character.AI discovered the one conversation its bots couldn’t keep going: the one with its accountants. $56 million in compute costs in eight months, and the monetization strategy was apparently: hope the next investor is even lonelier than our users. Silicon Valley keeps confusing engagement with a business model.
Let’s hope the rest follows.
