I sat down for a nice long chat on the Nick Standlea Show
about the economics of AI: How it's changing our labor market, who it's going to help and hurt, how policy can help, and what each of us can do to stay relevant.

All these cross investments in the AI space… no antitrust review these days, I guess?

Also, now that they are all interconnected, imagine how quickly collapse of the AI bubble is going to spread.

To the extent to which big consulting firms don't feel threatened by AI, it's because they understand that a big part of their job is merely decision-laundering. A big organization wants to do a thing, and they need somebody to blame in case that thing goes wrong? Time to bring on a big consultant!

The entire AI boom is listed on the US stock exchange, so non-US assets (equities, real estate, bonds) are a good place to start.

Although there is now a risk that BLS statistics will be cooked, TIPS are another good alternative that might benefit from electricity prices going through the roof.

The AI sports ads are teaching people how to find spurious correlations.

Not so much artificial intelligence as artificial silliness!

If, hypothetically speaking, one thought that the AI boom were a bubble, what asset classes would be most insulated from it?

Wrote about fresh signs of an AI bubble (and why the industry says the worries are mostly overblown) www.platformer.news/ai-bubble-20...
We have entered the "weird financial tricks" phase of the bubble. A reliable indicator of bubbles is that companies concoct bizarre financial instruments and accounting measures to paper over their problems. In Fortune, Allie Garfinkel reports that venture capitalists are irked at some of the creative accounting going on in their portfolios. Some startups are reporting one-time sales as "recurring revenue." Others technically show "recurring revenue" for what are essentially trials.

And that's on the tame side. For crazy, you can look to Robinhood's suggestion that it might offer "tokenized" equity in OpenAI. By "tokenized," Business Insider reports, Robinhood means "blockchain-enabled representations of securities like stocks." In reality, they have no connection to OpenAI equity whatsoever. But that doesn't mean that consumers shouldn't be able to gamble on the mirage!
