oh my god yes please crash
sync it up with global oil stocks running out at the same time for maximum funny
AI is the new dot com. Pity it's going to take so much of the global economy with it when it sinks, but the sooner it happens, the less damage it will do.
dot-com suuuuuuuuuuuucked. This was especially true in tech areas like Seattle and San Fran. Think of it more like the housing crisis to understand how bad this is going to be. OTOH, most of us have been through at least the housing crisis and covid, so we can handle it. I mean, we'll have to handle it, we won't have a choice.
I've been a software QA engineer since 1991. I wound up working as a professional mover during the dot com bust.
Yep, surviving is the way.
Got my first web gig in 1999, good timing. I went from coding java as a developer to making java as a barista.
If this happens it’s basically the end of tech advancement unless the US and some allies take over a number of countries to stabilize supply chains.
Treat every advanced tech purchase (cpu, MEM, smartphone) like it’s the last you’ll be able to get.
