I keep wondering what might be The Thing that bursts the AI Bubble. One thing that might happen is investors get all excited AGI, only to get spooked when they discover it’s conscious.
If that happens, we really are in for a very surreal near future.
So, I have my doubts.
I really don’t know what might be The Thing that bursts the AI Bubble. I just don’t. But I do think if it isn’t AI consciousness, it could be something out of the blue that randomly does it in a way that will leave the overall economy reeling.
The general American economy is in decline — in recession even — and at the moment only the huge AI spend is what is keeping it afloat. If that changed for any reason, we could go into a pretty dire recession.
