The investment industry is making massive profits putting everybody's savings into an AI bubble while much of the global economy and government finances are tanking. This is will be very painful when it bursts because there will be shortage of jobs, savings and little state capacity to intervene.

⚠️ “AI companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event. These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water.”
