Now, as for the possibility of the "big one". I think there's a 25%+ chance of that in the next 2-5 years, likely bigger than anything before. But it won't be because of a scam.
Job seekers now have to "tolerate" interviews with AI bots, I don't even know when to laugh or cry anymore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng_Bj7tVw78
Asset valuations are approaching feudal levels, where large portions of the population are relegated to perpetual debt service and locked out of asset purchases - while another portion gets to make up the valuations because they are close to the money printer.

Remember the days when Google was looking for a business model? I do. It’s probably going to be ads.

I don’t know.I use llms pretty much as a search engine and refreshing some programming tips. It’s over-confident for code review, doesn’t really handle arithmetic and sometimes fun as a co-writer for embedded stuff.

Noticed yesterday Jira is now hiding comments and pushing their AI summarizer, leading me to "conspiracy theories"
