“You can’t tell Emperor he’s naked. It would hurt the economy!”
So now the delusion wears off, they switch to open blackmail to prevent the bubble from bursting…Maybe they shouldn’t have forcefully injected “artificial intelligence” into everything? It seems like all these tech companies got high on their own hype. What happened to old-fashioned business sense?
Business sense doesn’t make billionaires. Obscuring profitable forms of human suffering and conducting short-sighted grifts does.
Short-sighted is right. What happens when the “billions” invested in the latest tech-bro scheme become worthless due to the inflation caused by building the economy on digital hot air? Whatever happened to making quality products that people actually want and selling them at a reasonable (or at least justifiable) price? That’s why despite all of the enthusiasm and promise of cryptocurrency it is bound to fail as well – it’s not real. I guess if the whole world enters the Matrix then the idea of a digitally bound utopia will pay off (at least, for the technocrats).
If? When.
Almost like they’re too big to fail.
