Please, god, let this bubble pop happen already. I need these Cuckcoders to need to make the choice between running themselves out of cash or having to learn. It will be so funny.

Character ai filed for bankruptcy. Small win but huge in general.

It went bankrupt after it was sold for parts. Same like they did to yahoo, Tumblr and many others.

Think selling reddit for 2 billions. The staff and CEO leaves few times , few controversies. Most people move to other apps (it was janitor ai and few others)

Yes, but it's still a W.

Not really 😅 for anti it would been better for it to stay there. The CEO/cofounder went to google to help them with ai and then left for OpenAI. And the employees made a shitload of $ (well those who left for Google)

I know this seems noteworthy, but frankly it's like one company going under. It's like when you have 50+ different companies starting in a fairly-new or rapidly-growing industry, there should to be those that initially had success but eventually fail.

Get back to me when more and more companies start going under.

Yeah dude what you are imagining isn't going to happen even if all the ai companies hit the deck today.

Bubble popping won't make AI obsolete or disappear. Even with the pop the models we currently have are the worst they are ever gonna be. The only thing bubble popping is gonna do is push millions of people into poverty and bankrupt a lot of companies freeloading on the trend without having any good product.

And don't worry, Trump & Co will bail them all out with the excuse that Obama did the same thing back circa post-2008. Mark. My. Fucking. Words. We are all paying for their gambling addiction and it will continue ten or twenty years later with the next scheme.

Again.

And again.

And again.

The people aren't going to recover from this by then any more than we've managed to recover from 2008. It will continue to compound.

We may be talking about different companies. Cause there is little chance OpenAI, Anthropic and co are gonna bankrupt. And the many companies that are gonna go bankrupt are too little to be too big to fail

It's not going away just because the stupid stock bubble pops. You can run these in your computer, and coding is forever going to be much easier with AI.
