12/ And they are going to do it again, that was what Sam Altman meant. “Too Big To Fail” for these people means that they can screw up & crash the world economy but they have to be bailed out by our taxpayer dollars, rather than losing everything they have because they screwed up. We pay the bill...

11/ And now, because the Techbros are firmly in control of the government, they will use OUR money to BAIL OUT THEIR SORRY ASSES. And they will do this, just like they did in 2000 & 2008, making the US buy up their mistakes and letting them walk away billionaires

10/ Basically, they came up with a “get rich quick” scheme & convinced everyone to jump in. But when they realized, it wasn’t going to pay off, they got out and the market came crashing down like the Hindenburg

9/ And recently you have started to hear some of the Techbros admit that the market is overvalued due to irrational exuberance. This is what caused the crash in 1929 & the Dot.com crash in 2000 & the housing crash in 2008

8/ I believe the LLM’s are a dead end in most respects, they are very good guessing machines but they do not actually think. And I also believe that our tech overlords have also realized this but they have spent so much on it that they can’t stop

7/ In fact, they aren’t, they are burning it as fast as they can get it. They are doing this to drive up the stock prices while gaslighting the markets & corporations that AI will solve every problem, everywhere. It won't, at least not this version

6/ They reacted by creating this chain of money that circulates from NVIDIA to Microsoft, to AMD, to OpenAI, Oracle & Intel. It’s basically the same money, just being moved around to make it “look” like they are making money

5/ To sum up, the tech giants have spent billions on AI & made billions by holding stock in those tech giants. In my mind, they have realized that the LLM’s are not the silver bullet of AI that they thought it was
