The bankrupcy of Oracle when it blows up will be the silver lining of this bubble.
And Meta and Microsoft getting seriously screwed.

As a result, Oracle is now required to provide cash collateral or a letter of credit in the astronomical sum of over $7 billion just to connect the building to the power grid, a setup whose ongoing maintenance will cost the company more than $100 million annually.
It's been positively infuriating to watch government bodies bend every fucking law for these companies at the expense of their constituents. I am glad that Wisconsin is telling them to put up or shut up.
infuriating is an understatement for sure
These companies are cannibalizing themselves to pump money into provably unreliable technology.
The end goal is obviously not money. At least not in currency and economy as we currently know it. Rather the individual fiat bearers for the cost of existence for everyone.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees the true grift
Ouroboros devours itself not because it wants to.
I hope they all go bankrupt. This is gambling addiction at it's highest peak. And the higher the peak, the thinner the oxygen.
Wonder how many of these ai companies will be “too big to fail” and bailed out by governments, once the bubble bursts
Whichever ones pay the highest bribes.
It should be the pension funds that are holding the bag that get bailed out. The people who executed the fraud should go to jail.
Whether or not this is a glimmer of hope remains to be seen: If Trump and his cronies keep this up, the U.S. will simply no longer be able to save its AI companies. The bubble is too big, and the U.S. is currently losing its credibility as a debtor on the global stage... Of course, they can print money, but that will lead straight to disaster.
To be clear, "boom" in this context is the original, dynamite generated sound?
I'm into it.
