You say they have nothing, but a lot of people are using it. Now I'd argue many aren't getting value out of it, even at a 10th to 100th the actual cost, but they think they are. (Often it is someone else has to fix the slop)

And I'm not saying a government bailout is the end of it. It just kicks the can down the road further. And probably makes the final pop bigger.

There is a reason these guys are building bunkers. It's not AI they are fearing. It is us. Rising up and demanded retribution. They are literally trying to work out how they can keep their security people under control in a collapse. And hoping to replace them with bots. Thinking they can maintain that themselves. Or leave earth and hide where we can't go. It's all absolutely mental.
