(Bloomberg) - The most likely long-term outcome of the AI boom will be massive capital destruction in the US, with market share going to cheaper open-source Chinese models, according to Jefferies Financial Group Inc.

We have made a generalised destroyer of corporate moats, and it’s getting commodified faster than any technology in history, and for some reason people think corporate profits are going to go up????

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.
