Just like 2008 had "Subprime Mortgages (or "Dot Com" crash) that nobody understood, 2026 has "Circular AI Revenue" deals. Ex: Microsoft gives money to OpenAI, who gives it back to Microsoft for Azure credits, which Microsoft then reports as "AI Growth".
Microsoft and Nvidia fund AI startups that buy their own tech back to report "growth." With $600b burning in data centers in 2026 alone but no real revenue to back it up.
If that loop snaps, the "fuck up" will be massive.
@nixCraft The excrements are steadily progressing toward the propeller.

@nixCraft not if, when.
As long as we don't bail them out with tax dollars...we aren't going to bail them out....right?
@nixCraft this is now widely known for at least three months now? Where is the crash? There will be no crash until enough of "normal" peoples money is invested in it. If one man, fElon can keep the Tesla scam going for now over a decade, bunch of blue chip companies - it is not just two mentioned playing this game, along with vcs - will easily keep this charade until they want it to end.
@nixCraft nah, this perpetual economic motion machine is gonna go to the moon forever

DotCom was the 2001 crash just before and after 9/11.
