Kind of fucking ironic to use AI to write that. Yeah, either way we're fucked economically with AI: at one side we have a fucking giant bubble crashing, and on the other side we have the mother of all recessions due to the biggest deflationary event ever. Every fucking decent economist knows that even when he is telling otherwise to keep the porridge coming to his table; but you using AI to say it, it is just fucking bad taste.
xnx
Everyone likes to think they live in a particularly consequential point in history, but I don't see how things can continue on their current trajectory (economic, political, societal, environmental, etc.).

Sheesh! I mean, after reading this I'm surprized they didn't also add something like the following... * Correlated to some of these findings, crime is estimated to rise extremely sharply in the coming years, especially bank robberies and ramraid-style theft from retail stores. * The only industries expected to grow during this and upcoming periods include manufacturers of police batons and other riot gear, bricks, and gas masks....the latter two often used by protesters. /s
