    There is no boycotting and the bubble will never pop.

    Militaries and businesses are going to use AI no matter what. They will pay for it with the money we give them.

      I agree that the military will always pay up, but you know that the bubble can pop without all companies going under, right? Have you heard of the dot com bubble, for example? There are plenty of those companies around still, and yet, the bubble popped.

      To be clear, I’m not claiming this bubble would be identical. All I’m saying is that not all companies would have to go under for it to pop. It’s really the (wealthy) shareholders that get to decide when to pull the money, and that’s what would cause a bubble to pop, not pure revenue. Shareholders want a return on investment, which is something that hasn’t really happened yet (other than the circlejerk between big companies, I suppose).

      They will pay for it with the money we give them they extract from us by force.
