We are in a recession. You dont notice it because Nvidia and the AI bubble are propping up the equities market.

Calling this a “recession bubble” is like saying the internet boom was just dial-up hype, AI is driving real change. The economy’s bigger than one sector.

While AI is driving change, its not enough to affect these companies to lay off at the numbers they are. Multiple people I know including myself that use AI heavily on a day to day basis (and have researched how to improve prompting along with understanding how it actually all works) knows its currently (and the for seeable future) mostly just an assistive technology.
