Except for the one person on the ground, the only people harmed in the Hindenburg disaster were the ones on board. If you're not "on board" when the AI bubbles pops and burns I expect you will not be hurt as much as those blindly taking that ride.
Unfortunately, we're not all the ones that decide if we're on board or not. Our employers are. We live in a world where profits are privatized and losses are socialized, so when this goes, it's going to hurt the general public a lot more than it will every hurt the Epstein Class.
On board means part of the utility grid and industrial food infrastructure sooooo
And if you have a retirement account with investments, kinda at all. The entire US economy is hinging on AI at this point, to a deranged degree. Almost more than oil, at this point.
When the AI bubble crashes then they would use less grid power on account of not existing.
