It seems like the project of driving up the line is going great by most metrics. 👍
@supersquirrel Very true and very much not a reason to rejoice, since everyone with a retirement plan or an adjustable mortgage, or really any participation at all in the global economy, not only the US', will suffer, and be forced into harsher living and working conditions in the aftermath - for several generations.

Sure.. the AI bubble pops, but can it lock....?

A lock is nothing but a precisely designed false-knot waiting to be tugged on in the right place.

It ain't over until Oracle implodes and Larry Ellison goes broke

Oracle looks like it isn't imploding like a neat full rack of pins always look stoic and eternal the moment before the bowling ball hits.

Can bubbles pop slowly? 🤔
dgerard@awful.systems · 11 pts · 31d
yes, routinely. the CDO bubble of the 2000s took from 2006 to 2009 to deflate, with first warnings in 2005

JJ is IRISH take that back! ...and he isn't dead for God's sake! He just needs a little whiskey thrown his way and he will come around again!

@supersquirrel Holy crap I erred big time. I used to drink Jameson's at James Joyce Pub for crying out loud.
I have insoluble brain problems.
