The entire US economy is currently being propped up by growth in the AI/tech sector. And I am convinced that LLMs are fundamentally incapable of delivering on the promises being made by the AI CEOs. That means there is a massive bubble that will eventually burst, probably taking the whole US economy with it.

Let’s say, for sake of argument, that I am a typical American. I work a job for a wage, but I’m mostly living paycheck to paycheck. I have maybe a little savings, and a retirement account with a little bit in it, but certainly not enough that I can retire anytime in the near future.

To what extent is it possible for someone like me, who doesn’t buy into the AI hype, to insulate themselves from the negative impact of the eventual collapse?

    You’ve got absolutely no idea how the real world works lol. This reads like some fanfic erotica for people who hate billionaires.

    In a world like you’re talking about everyone would be out for themselves, not just billionaires, and at that point billionaires will have even more power because they could pay people to shoot-on-sight anyone that comes near their property, and they could just seize the means of production of whatever they wanted to. They can afford to buy whoever they need to, to get whatever they need to.

      This entire conversation is based on what the op asked. Would the 99% take what the 1% has. You suggested they couldn’t take it, I suggested they wouldn’t have to they could just cut them off. The entire premise is based on the 99% standing up and uniting. It was an interesting question dude, no need to be insulting.
