AI companies have bought out Western Digital's storage capacity for 2026. It's only February.

    But you won’t be able to afford it because the market crash means you lose your job.

      I think people don’t realise that if AI fails, it’s pretty much guaranteed to collapse the US economy.

        Meh, not really a full collapse. Just like 75% of it and a huuuuge recession. Or maybe a “Tiny Depression”? Basically, 10 years to recover. Which is where we’re going anyway, with or without AI.

          10 years on top of the generations to recover from economic and social policy being shat out by a deranged geriatric.

            the remaining question is if its effects are additive or multiplicative

        And if AI doesn’t fail, people will be unemployed.

        Yep, either way, your job is toast.

        AI succeeds: AI takes your job.

        AI fails: Economy crashes and you lose your job due to the crash.

        Fine.

        The market is a joke, needs massive corrections.

        Good luck everyone.
