[16:09]	TR News	"This was a great read. I've been ready for this bubble to break for ages. Let's just get this over with already." gemini://bbs.geminispace.org/s/AI/31484
[16:10]	TR News	"The market has been overvalued since the great recession made money cheap. Perhaps too cheap. The wealthy literally have too much money and not enough places to dump it into to make MORE money. Stocks have high returns with little maintenance."
[16:10]	TR News	"Hype bubbles are ways to make 10x your investment quick, even if you know the underlying tech is trash. It is never enough for the wealthy. But it is zero sum so someone gets stuck holding the bag. If you do it right, it is the retail investor who got in way late. Oh, and the companies and their employees of course."
[16:12]	TR News	Some people say stuff like, no way a company this big would do a scam. Oh year? Check history. It may be a scam, and a BIG scam. Scams happen.

[16:14]	TR News	"The bottom line is red. OpenAI lost billions last year AFTER REVENUES. They're on track to lose billions more this year. They only have one financial backer left willing to pour the missing billions into the venture (SoftBank), and that backer is already borrowing at least some of those billions on credit" gemini://drmollytov.smol.pub/2025-08-15
[16:14]	TR News	"Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and Meta are also losing money - so much so that Microsoft actually announced significant cutbacks in its planned data center builds (while also somehow claiming it has the capacity to handle the explosive growth in Copilot use it claims is coming."
[16:15]	TR News	"It's not just the actual AI companies, either. CoreWeave is massively overcommitted to hardware with no clear path to actually producing it. Nvidia is the only company involved in all this whose financials make a lick of sense at this point - and even then, it's only one lick, not enough to get to the center of the Tootsie Roll pop."
[16:15]	TR News	"Yet their stock keeps going up. EVERYONE'S stock in this business keeps going up. It's built on a foundation made of debt, lies, and nonsense, but it's getting built!"
[16:16]	TR News	"The market, for reasons I absoultely do understand (greed and hype), not only rewards these hype men but punishes the companies whose financials are sound yet who aren't doing the hype dance. In July, Amazon's share price slid because the company wasn't investing as much in AI as Wall Street wanted"
[16:17]	TR News	"If the gen AI bubble was limited to gen AI companies, it'd still be a big deal. Tech companies are over-represented in the S&P 500; a significant downturn in their stock values will result in a signficant market drop, even if everyone else is left untouched. But a lot of "everyone else" is choosing not to remain untouched."
[16:17]	TR News	"LLMs and similar generative-AI tools don't do what they claim they can do. LLMs extrude factually false and emotionally manipulative text all the time, and they cannot actually be prevented from doing so. AI "art" and "video" are filling the Web with slop and causing more harm than good."

[16:18]	TR News	"Vibe coding" has an uncanny knack for hiding fatal flaws in plain sight - things that few humans would insert into code and thus few humans go looking for, unless they intend to exploit them."
[16:18]	TR News	"(Aside: When Scam Altman claimed that GPT-5 is like talking to someone with a PhD, I said "So it cries when you ask it how the writing is going?" This man doesn't spend a lot of time around actual PhDs.)"
[16:19]	TR News	"But they don't have to. Because they're not being sold to writers, researchers, programmers, and artists. They're being imposed on these groups by Business Idiots (perfect term, Ed, thanks) - managers who failed their way to their current position and who only hear "we don't have to pay people anymore!""
[16:19]	TR News	"The market for generative AI isn't ordinary people and never will be. It's capitalists. It's every business that wants to save money - excuse me, "increase shareholder value" - by cutting its workforce. But generative AI can't do what it's being "hired" to do."
[16:20]	TR News	"These companies are gaining a quick buck as market darlings by positioning themselves as "AI-first," to the detriment of their long-term growth. They're on the bubble as well."
