There are fresh signs that the AI boom is wobbling. Again. In recent weeks, a much-vaunted AI focused hedge fund run by Valley wunderkind Leopold Aschenbrenner lost $35 billion dollars. South Korea saw its largest-ever stock market collapse as investors pulled bets on AI chips. Due to a fresh series of moratoria and political opposition, the future of the massive data center buildout has never looked more uncertain. The US markets have dipped and boomed, dipped and boomed.
When AI starts to deplete our drinking water— the shit our entire race needs to survive— I HOPE it’s on its way out. Because that’s what’s happening. Fuck.
