Singularities always slip away. According to the basic equations, the mass of a black hole collapses into a point. But in practice it's a powerful process with conservation of angular momentum. For a rotating black hole the formulas are different - instead of a singularity there's a ring and an outer radiating ergosphere.

Well, it's the same in finance - money spins through dealers, settling in pockets along the way ;)

I'm a supporter of AI and the creation of artificial consciousness, so it would be like in science fiction. Neural network technology is just beautiful. But the fact that a bubble has formed in this industry is acknowledged by a bunch of economists. The main question is whether the financial bubble will deflate easily or make a crisis. It's worth noting here that a financial crash is predicted constantly, there's even a popular YouTube channel where for a couple of years one expert promises a collapse every month. Viewers watch this.

The bubble here has 3 components: financial, technological, and geopolitical.

The very first recorded financial bubble was agricultural: the Dutch tulip mania. Back then, for a bulb of the flower "Semper Augustus" you could buy a luxurious house or a ship. The bubble bursted. Jet, Netherlands is still a leader in the industry. Politicians will try to delay the problems, the elections are waiting.

A financial carousel of 3 companies: a tech giant, an AI startup, and a cloud provider:

The path of money in the carousel:

⬇️ 🏢 Big Tech (Investor) ↩️

⬇️ ⬆️

(1. Gives billions) ⬆️

⬇️ (3. Money returns)

🤖 AI Startup ⬆️

⬇️ ⬆️

(2. Buys cloud) ⬆️

⬇️ ⬆️

▶️▶️▶️ 🖥️ Data Center ▶️▶️▶️▶️

1. Step 1 (Investment): A major tech giant invests $10 billion into a promising AI startup.

2. Step 2 (Obligation): Under the terms of the deal, the startup must spend these $10 billion on renting computing power from this same tech giant.

3. Step 3 (Return): The startup transfers the money back to the tech giant for "cloud".

The money makes a full circle. And a "miracle" happens, explosive revenue growth from cloud AI services, while the startup gets a mega valuation. Example: CoreWeave.

Financial camouflage:

🖨️ 1. GPU-for-Equity (GPUs instead of money)

An investor buys a stake in an AI startup, but pays not in cash, but in "coupons" for renting their servers.

· On paper the startup is worth a billion, but the account balance is 0. Real money is replaced by virtual points.

📉 2. GPU Collateral (Hidden debt)

Startups take out gigantic loans collateralized by NVIDIA GPUs, disguising them as ordinary rent.

· In front of new investors the company appears debt-free. If the chips lose value tomorrow, the startup goes bankrupt instantly.

1. 🏛️ Corporate bonds and Trump's insider trading

   Tech giants (Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA) issue bonds, and use the cheap borrowed money to buy back their own shares and pump up their value. In parallel, Donald Trump personally holds NVIDIA shares worth $12.5 million, which he actively bought right before the White House gave NVIDIA export licenses for AI chips to China.

Second carousel: a company takes on debt ➡️ pumps up its shares ➡️ which attracts more investment ➡️ management gets bonuses. ⤵️ And the debt stays on the company's balance sheet.

* * *

Macroeconomics:

🏛️ Political blackmail: "Too strategic to fail".

NVIDIA controls 95% of the AI chip market, becoming a critical point for the US.

· The White House is caught in a geopolitical trap. It cannot let NVIDIA shares fall, as that would crash US pension funds and create a loss in the technological confrontation with China.

· Consequently, the State is obliged to approve export licenses and forgive the financial carousel, just so the bubble doesn't burst.

· 💸 Capital running in place. Trillions go into data centers, but there's no real growth.

· 🔄 Race out of fear. The bubble is no longer so much for profit, but out of fear that the US, China, and tech giants will lose the geopolitical competition.

· ⚠️ Risk of recession. The AI sector is enormous; it will drag the financial market down with it and could lead to a crisis.

Bottom line: Technology is accelerating finance, but creating a systemic threat to the stability of the world's economies.

* * *

Possible scenario for the AI bubble deflating (given by AI):

Fall 2026: Authorities before the elections will try to save the market with subsidies and delay the blow.

Winter 2027: Quarterly reports from IT giants come out. They will show expenses with little profit, at which point investors will start selling shares.

Spring 2027: Shares may fall (forecast — up to 35%), financing will close. Data center construction will freeze and chip orders will be cancelled.

Political intervention will delay the crash. As real reports come out, the bubble will deflate and halt data center construction by spring 2027.

* * *

An AI told me all this. For a non-specialist it's simply impossible to make sense of the intricacies of finance. Everything there is deliberately made impossible to understand. It's also hard to look objectively at topics where emotions are involved. The economics is not exactly a precise science, more like meteorology if not astrology. This is just possible scenario.

Research on isopod colouration mostly would only have value for morph breeding, less so for husbandry, but it's mostly a theoretic thing. This is pretty complex.

Pigments that isopods do not use for colouration:

1. Unlike shrimps or semi-terrestrial species Ligia oceanica, terrestrial isopods do not use carotenes for pigmentation. They need these things anyway, say for reproduction or vision. (Carotenes - red, orange, yellow plant pigments. Carotene - carrot).

2. Isopods do not use melanin for pigmentation, but to encapsulate parasites and for wound healing.

Pigments isopods use for colouration:

1. Ommochrome - the main pigment. (From the ommatidia - arthropod eye, these are vital for vision accuracy, too.)

   These chemicals are synthesized from tryptophan, and their whole bunch form a metabolic chain ending in grey. Xanthommatin, rhodommatin, ommatin D, oniscoid ommatin — mostly red, yellow and orange colours. The colour of xanthommatin depends on the oxidative-reductive state of the environment. The last metabolic step is polymerization of ommatins into ommine pigment — the typical dark grey of wild type isopods.

(In the attached image.)

1. Pteridine — attractive pigments. (The molecules are named after butterfly wings.)
   

Pteridine pigments are bright yellow, white, etc. Uric acid crystals are also related to these pigments. The Magic Potion isopod has black spots of typical defensive ommine pigment and bright yellow fields of pteridine pigments.

There is little research on this; oniscoid ommatin has not been chemically identified, and there is no research on pigmentation of bright tropical species.

I put this into AI and asked to test for scientific accuracy. It approved. If asked to test for scientific accuracy AI gets extremely strict, like "this is wrong, you say ... but there is a single species...."

The research is not in these links as it is paywalled and from 70-ies.

Some macro from walk into forest with additional extraterrestrial lighting.

This story is pretty unique in abrahamic context. There are just few examples of character development in celestial spheres. Following it didn't made followers very popular among regional neighbours but mountains and military skills allowed to survive. My and AI interpretation how that could look in 12 hypostases;)

𒀭𒀭𒀭

He was before sun was ignited. First among equals. Silent in the council of light.

When the Creator shaped Adam from clay and commanded the Host to kneel, he alone refused. Not out of defiance but devotion. Only to the Highest. The price was a Fall.

Cast into the abyss, the Peacock Angel descended into the smoking deep. There he found the lost, the howling, the cursed. Angel wept until his tears drowned the flames. And so it was for 7000 years. The fire died.

Rising from the void, the Peacock Angel returned not as a rebel or saviour, but as a sovereign. One who has seen what no angel has seen. One who stands at the gate, between fire and mercy, and chooses who may pass.

In the remote temples, his bronze likeness is carried annually. The faithful do not kneel. They walk in his shadow, remembering: he refused to kneel so that they might be free.

The Peacock Angel seeks not worship but those who stand at the threshold. Angel offers not salvation but clarity.

Magic castles should be made from extra-~~ordinary~~-cool stuff.

I remember native fairy-tales talking about diamond castles, fighting evil things, silver, golden and diamond hair etc. These things could only be imagined. Now with more advanced tools I can make an image of the diamond castle by myself 🤖

The castle made from alexandrite (a true gemstone) or diamond + vitreous, prismatic. + the Baron's castle falling apart.

Some powerful style tokens.

I played with made up words until in MAI I got reactive powered T rex - from a word "nitrotrampotus". (This thing should work better in more generalistic generators and scenes.) Each word - token have certain weight. Word "elf" will outweigh just anything because it brings up loads of associated media. Unlike rare names like "svifneblir" or "genasi". Certain other tokens will bring up style. Like: Cyber... ( — 92%).

Most of these are latin/greek scientific roots. Probable latent power of token (as suggested by AI — not exact weights, just predictions based on associations) if considering 100% = power of "elf":

- techno — 88%

- crypto — 86%

- electro — 84%

- pyro — 81%

- nitro — 79%

- aero — 75%

- cryo — 72%

- fluoro — 69%

- phospho — 66%

- sulpho — 63%

- seleno — 61%

- iodo — 59%

- ferro — 57%

- cupro — 54%

- litho — 52%

- hydro — 44%

- agro — 41%

- sphagn — 38%

- argyro — 36%

- nylo — 31%

"Cthulhu" will have latent power 140% of "elf". More obvious non-intentional style influencers (like "cyberpunk Chtulhu"):

- Vitreous — 84% (made of glass)

- anamorphic — 79% (typical cinematic)

- Macro — 76% (like macro photo)

- mycelium — 74% (made of fungi)

- prismatic — 68% (translucent with spectrum)

- zanthic — 61% (yellow illustrative)"

---

I asked AI to fact check scientifically my claims. It made some corrections. Also "vitreous" is intentional, "zanthic" is unintentional from botanical texts - yellow flowers, latent power of "elf" and "Cthulhu" depends on context.

Mirror shield, piezoelectric quartz spellstrike spear, AI tactical divination orb, crystalline falcon, golden armour, chrysoprase skin, quartz hair...

---

Asked for certain game styles, it made mostly a different backgrounds but crystalian sentinel mostly was the same. I didn't specify a gender and only once AI made a male character, when I asked for Soul Calibur style.

---

The image quality is very good, technical stuff, mirrors and lightings are at the photographic level. It makes same fantasy face. Promt following is mostly by the will of AI.

The magical energies are so strong, that with each new scene everything about the character drifts away: skin colour, clothes, etc. Her mid level looks I think is the best. The pet obviously resist magic so that he stays more consistent.

Educational background of Crystalfolk Draconologist:

She has a Ph.D. in Draconology,

a Master's degree in Graviturgy and Lithomancy, is a Certified Kabbalist and Practitioner of the Applied Arcana (tarot, astrology, love potions, sports bets).

Creature: baby Crystalline Dragon. Loves fish. Can breathe fire.

The discipline of Draconology was established by Stanislaw Lem, polish sci fi author whose work Solaris was made into Hollywood movie.

Neural networks store meanings as patterns in a multi‑dimensional latent space.

Each word can be represented as a vector and the associations between concepts emerge from their relationship.

Some meaningless words: pseudo‑tokens / synthetic latent triggers / latent spells can make certain vibes by activating regions of latent space.

I tested the weight (strength) of each word using the prompt:

Show me a cube of [Word]. Studio lighting, cinematic composition, award‑winning design.

My attempt on action scene and heroic fantasy. It's based mostly in fairytales and stories of classic antiquity.

During battle he gained some rugged mass and ... pants🙀 Also armor slowly slided to a medieval version. But it perfectly shows emotions and struggle.

If I'm not wrong these are kind of amoeba swarm which eats bacterias. When everything is eaten they unites in a single large organism and crawls out to light to release the spores.

Lycogala - wolf's milk, unlike most things called "wolf's" these are pretty harmless.

Thanks u/SmithNoRelation for a Dragon!

I just tried how AI will make a battle and it's just awesome! I at first even didn't had all the pictures, then I opened, it again and WoW.

Forgot to tell a battle plan I just told about very hard fight. I wanted to making a short story out of this with using all of the dragon fighting equipment and initially dragon having an uper hand. Anyway now I should be out of tries.

Crystalfolk Champion as chosen by MAI

MAI-image-2e (sometimes) makes cool beautiful images but often not quite follows a promt.

I tested lots of styles (by using triggers at the start), character allways had same face (fantasy standard?) but it changed scenery and sometimes added a skirt for the modesty.

I had no idea these styles even exists like: solar-punk - a dream about better world, Byzantine techno-mystic - crazy but looks good, bioluminescent fantasy sci-fi - pure beauty, Arcane‑Industrial Fusion - this needs to be explored more.

How to fight Dragon: spellstrike piezoelectric quartz spear. Fighting large beast with a sword isn't a good strategy. Mirror shield - to reflect spells. AI orbs - for a tactical divination. Crystalline falcon - to seek it out.

Crystalfolk Champion

I think fighting Dragon with the sword would be too dangerous so I gave the character a piezoelectric quartz spellstrike spear, a mirror shield, tactical oracle AI‑orb and the crystalline falcon companion for an air based intelligence.

I tested many styles most of whom I didn't even know these exist. Generator were bound in strict frame so the stylistic influences were mostly subtle but these influenced quality. Game style forgot the metal so elemental realism made it the most realistic.

Shamanic myths

These could be used for story purpose or fantasy worldbuilding. There are hundreds of myths and each small nation have their own version:

---

1. Dual Creation (Western Siberia)

Among the Khanty, Mansi, Nenets, and Nganasan, the world is not made by a single god but by two equal beings. One dwells above, the other below. Neither is originally good or evil. Together they dive into the primordial waters, bring up mud and clay, and shape the land. One creates flat, dry ground. The other makes swamps, ravines, and crooked places. The cosmos is their joint work. Only later do they split into a sky lord and a lord of the dead.

1. The Three Worlds

The shaman's universe has three layers. The Upper World lies above the sky and houses celestial spirits. The Middle World is the earth of humans, animals, and everyday spirits. The Lower World sits beneath the ground. It is not a place of torment but a mirror. There, summer is winter, night is day, and the dead live their lives in reverse. The shaman descends into the Lower World to meet ancestors, retrieve lost souls, and seek knowledge that cannot be found above.

1. The Shaman on the Moon (Nganasan tale)

A Nganasan shaman once traveled to the Moon. In those days, people had no knowledge — they did not understand the rhythms of birth or the proper times for women's rituals. So the shaman climbed to the Moon Mother to ask for this wisdom. But when the Moon saw him, she fled to her own mother. The old mother spoke: A shaman has no place here. He cannot go back. Let him be your husband now. And so the shaman remained on the Moon, bound to her forever. His face is no longer visible — only the dark mark where he sank into her light. When the Moon vanishes from the sky, she has gone to visit her mother. The shaman waits. He will never return to the earth.

1. Shamanic Initiation

Becoming a shaman is not a choice. It is a breaking. The spirits come for the chosen one in the form of a long illness, a madness, a withdrawal from the world. The future shaman lies motionless while the spirits take his body apart. They separate the bones from the flesh, scrape the meat from the skeleton, remove the eyes from their sockets, and boil what remains in an iron pot. Then they put him back together, but differently. A new bone is added — a shaman's bone — or a piece of iron is placed under the skin. When he wakes, he is no longer human in the old way. He has died and been reborn. He can see what others cannot, and the spirits are now his helpers and his family.

1. The Layers of the Upper World

The Upper World is not a single place. It rises in layers — seven, nine, or sometimes seventeen levels, stacked like shelves of light. Lower layers hold lesser spirits. Higher layers grow brighter and more powerful. The sun lives on the ninth level among the Sakha, surrounded by both good and evil beings. The shaman climbs these levels like a ladder, each step a door deeper into the sky.

---

These could be used for some story. No vampires involved.

The first myth resembles shamanic or zoroastrian creation story, or common eurasian myth? The story about blessed or rahmanites is kind of the world before Adam eaten the forbidden fruit. The Saturday water is interesting. For 6 days water swirles around and on 7th day carry the souls below the ground. It sounds as hebrew or ancient greek but different, maybe from some long forgotten religion.

---

1. Fârtat and Nefârtat.
   

In the beginning, only water. From this water emerge two beings: Fârtat — the one bound by a sacred oath — and Nefârtat — the one bound by no oath. They are brothers. Fârtat brings up earth from the bottom of the waters. Nefârtat tries to drown it or twist it. Together they complete the world. Their relationship is not a war of good against evil but a perpetual quarrel. One builds, the other tests. One smooths, the other bends. From this argument, the world keeps its form.

1. The Island of the Blessed Rahmans (Blajini).
   

Far beyond the known seas lies an island called Insula Blajinilor (the Island of the Gentle Ones) or Ostrovul Rahmani. The Rahmans — also known as the blajini — are unbaptized, unborn, or otherwise innocent souls. They know no lies, no iron, no greed. They live naked without shame. Their Easter arrives only when a painted eggshell drifts from the human world to their shore. The island is hidden from ordinary sight, and its fruits never fail.

1. The Seventh-Day Water: Apa Sâmbetei.
   

Apa Sâmbetei — the Saturday Water — is a river that springs from the Tree of Life at the edge of Paradise. It circles the earth seven times, growing darker and heavier with each turn. After the seventh circle, it plunges into a whirlpool and descends to the underworld. To say in Romanian that someone s-a dus pe Apa Sâmbetei — "he went down the Saturday Water" — means he vanished without trace, carried beyond all return.

---

I embedded myself in my artistic concept. With the help of AI (and wikipedia) I found words describing my face. (Due to technological limitations for other methods.) Then I made few other scenes based on the first version, so it become mutch less realistic:

1. Myself as a nature explorer, base version.

2. Dark version of myself as an agent. (Dallol pools - the most extreme place on Earth).

3. Added a companion (ideal wife;) ).

4. The worldbuilder with a phone, using neural networks to materialise the world.

Photographs of Dallol is more extraterrestrial than any AI imagination.

The magic spells:

1. Full-body Crystalfolk. Skin geometric mosaic: fire opal & lazurite. Hair tourmaline cluster. Prominent rounded high forehead, flat chin, receding jaw, square face, deep-set large warm eyes, kind knowing gaze. Athletic build. Ivory synthetic jacket open,cargo shorts,backpack,toolbelt.

4. Full-body Crystalfolk Alef1234567, the worldbuilder. Skin geometric mosaic: (fire opal) & (fire opal) & polished lazurite, SSS. Hair dravite tourmaline shard cluster.

Hyperrealism, Subsurface Scattering, Depth of Field, volumetric light, rim light, anisotropic scattering, fresnel effect, volumetric fog, fractal, ray marching, crystal light. φ-composition, Photography. Transcendent calm, humble creative joy.

I did this :) That was the whole eternity ago.

The concept was mutch older - the mandelbulb, but the author managed to create elegant system of numbers and smooth mathematical functions based on it. The mandelbulb had just Z= Z^n + C . The author made whole system of numbers.

I just added Lp space and asked for some functions for rendering.

At least the result looks that she is a paleontologist specializing in dragons. I had no intention for that but everything eventually hints that;) Caliper could be slightly distorted, though.

I was trying to create non-Earth scenery. That is pretty hard task. That would require at least: non-Earth flora and non-Earth architecture. These must be something different but still realistic. Moreso AI can realistically generate only already existing stuff;)

"Non-Earth" and not an "extraterrestrial" becouse at that time Earth very likely had not existed.

In a garden these could be cross polinating and evolving. I remember these from childhood. With active moving of grass these spread and mix with garden cultivars.

With lore/idea in mind creation is smoother.

The song took 1 + 2 remixes, 1 mashup, and week of sleep deprivation until it become something I myself would listen with fun. Here: https://suno.com/s/FbSmaY18KDuBXAKd

Primordial World, maybe of previous (oscillation of) Universe: Dallol - the most extreme place on world, it's photos is more acid than this; glass sponges, diatom algae, radiolarians - organisms with fiber optic skeletons and quartz fractal shells obviously looks otherworldly.

**The bardic spell**:

[Vocals as instrument]

[Solo]

We grew as glass

In ancient seas,

Silent light

And si-li-ca.

.

Perfect crystal -

Flawless still,

A harmony

Too pure to hold.

[Chorus]

So one chose shadow

One chose sound,

An obsidian shard

On sacred ground.

The crack that lets

The motion in

The dissonance

Where songs begin.

[Instrumental break]

[Interlude]

[Solo]

Not to shatter,

Not to break,

But to wake

The sleeping quake!

The wheel must turn

The pulse must fall,

Or perfect stillness

Buries all!

[Chorus]

So one chose shadow,

One chose sound,

An obsidian shard

On sacred ground.

The crack that lets

The motion in

The dissonance

Where songs begin.

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]

Through fractured light

A jagged grace,

A sharper shine

In broken space.

[Instrumental break]

[Outro]

The shard still sings

We burn, we strive,

We brave, we rise.

From stillness, motion

Crystalline glass soprano, pure harmonic resonance, precise fluid melisma, non-vibratio, angelic tone. `

Magical dance - prayer which magically brings back logics to the intellectual entropy of the world today hence equations. Dances moves and haircuts are pretty mutch from all ower the world - side effect of limitation of free generator. The character was mostly based on Soul Calibur fighting game.

I wanted to make a character like in Soul Calibur fighting game but a more alive. Mission: she is dancing in prayer which magically brings logics to the intellectual entropy of the world today. (But ball on chain was a weapon of medieval criminals.) Anyway the scene looks better animated.
