The people inflating the bubble have to know what they’re doing, right? It’s hard to come up with an economic scenario where the market doesn’t crash and burn as a result.
I can’t shake the feeling that two key motivations for bleeding all this cash are A. For moving more wealth to the top (which, y’know, is already happening in umpteen different ways beyond AI), and B. For quickly building surveillance infrastructure, seeing as how eager the Pentagon/DHS is about AI

Does this analysis adjust for all the BS listings on Indeed? At least from my past experiences reading and applying on online job boards, I see a lot of job postings that are scams or advertisements backed by no real intention of actually hiring anyone
