As the AI market continues to balloon, experts are warning that its VC-driven rise is eerily similar to that of the dot com bubble.

    crypto and nft have nothing to do with AI, though. Investing in AI properly is like investing in Apple in the early 90’s.

    ultimately it won’t matter because if we get AGI, which is the whole point of investing in AI, stocks will become worthless.

      “stock will become worthless”

      I’m thinking the opposite might happen.

      If big companies succeed in capturing the knowledge workers market share and transferring all those salaries into their own profits then it will be reflected in the stock prices of those big companies. People, mostly currently rich people, who own those stock will benefit.

      Same as it ever was for other forms of automation or job outsourcing. Why would this be any different?
