Have you seen Fed rate? What is the point of building anything now?
And these people just follow the hammer principle. AI allows them to do things so they do it. Doesn't mean there's any point to.
Just wait until ZIRP returns, if it does, if it doesn't there's no need to bother at all. Just find a way to milk some megacorp in a way that keeps you as invisible as possible.
I feel there is always a point in building something. The economy is awful but that also means new opportunities are emerging.
