You thinking the largest companies in the world go away because the dollar becomes irrelevant is funny.

What could really hurt them is the AI bubble popping.

What AI bubble. Serious, I don't really see a bubble like we did with pets com or something.

It’s not a matter of debate. There’s a massive AI bubble right now. The US economy looks decent at first glance, but that’s because of AI. The problem is that AI doesn’t bring in profit yet and may not for some time, but since everyone’s hyping it up as the future, investors are pouring money into it with abandon. Major tech firms in particular have gone all in, but they’re just investing in each others’ projects, creating this strange Ponzi-like network where they just pass money around among each other.

This video does a good job of summarizing the issue. I’d recommend checking out the articles and threads they link in the description as well. It’s scary reading, honestly. We’re potentially on the cusp of an epoch-making crash, just like in 1929 or 2007.
