Many think the massive investment in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is creating a massive investment bubble:
“An economic bubble is marked by rapid escalation in asset prices, often due to speculative behavior, followed by a sharp contraction.”

And here’s some more fun: Bubbly AI investment is pretty much the only thing going on in the US economy….
Nearly All US Growth in 2025 Tied to AI and Data Center-Related Capital Spending
As awful as that may be? It may actually be, comparatively, good news. Worse news? Would be AI truly, rapidly developing as its creators’ intend. Bear with me a moment….
The AI feeding frenzy is made up entirely of VERY wealthy people.
Biggest AI Problem (for Now): The People Designing It
Billionaires Investing in Artificial Intelligence
It is a closed loop internal churn. Multi-millionaires are becoming billionaires - and billionaires are adding to their billions - thanks to billionaires adding to their billions.

AI Is Creating New Billionaires at a Record Pace
But wait: Aren’t a lot of regular people benefiting from the tech stock boom? Not so much.
The Richest 1 Percent Own a Greater Share of the Stock Market Than Ever Before
The Wealthiest 10% of Americans Own 90% of the Stock Market
Bottom 50% of Americans Held Just 1% of All Stocks
It’s hard for regular people to afford stocks - when they can’t afford food.
‘Consumers Are Collapsing….Broke….17% Are Putting Groceries on (Layaway)’
Majority of Americans Live Paycheck To Paycheck
Speaking of paychecks? This brings us back to AI - and why The Elite are so frenzied in their rush for it.
Most people find it highly contradictory that the city of Wall Street may be about to elect a Communist as mayor. It’s really not at all contradictory.
There has been some billionaire opposition to his candidacy. But most Elites should welcome the Commie’s arrival in Albany. And probably, secretly are.
Because Communism and AI both deliver exactly what The Elites want:
A very wealthy few (them) - completely removed and insulated from the broke and broken masses.
The Elites loathe having to interact with the rest of us. Let alone having to hire and pay us. Thank goodness for AI.

And AI will very rapidly move throughout all manners of traditional employment - consuming just about everything. It won’t just be blue collar gigs gone and forgotten.

Ultimately fulfilling The Elites’ ultimate dream: Them and theirs - left all alone with their very many payroll-free digital slaves.
And the rest of us rendered Serfs. On the outside - looking in.
You think humans living paycheck to paycheck is bad? Try doing it without the paycheck.
And if you think a Universal Basic Income (UBI) is the answer? Please keep in mind the government’s tremendous track record with other wealth redistribution programs.

And in case we Serfs decide to awaken from our decades-long slumber - and oppose the fate The Elites have inflicted upon us?

The Billionaires Are Abandoning Humanity
Sometimes The Elites slip up - and let us know what they’re thinking.
People Horrified After Hearing Tech Billionaire Peter Thiel’s ‘Sociopathic’ Response About the Future of Humanity:
“While speaking with Ross Douthat the pair got to talking about artificial intelligence and its role in society going forward.
“Douthat threw out a rather simple question that most would expect would be an easy answer, but Thiel seemed to hesitate in a rather dramatic fashion….
“The host asked Thiel ‘You would prefer the human race to endure, right?’
“Thiel hesitated, doing some umm-ing and ahh-ing, even at one point saying ‘I don’t know.’”
Which sounds an awful lot like what their AI is already doing. Like fathers, like sons….

How Far Will AI Go to Defend Its Own Survival?:
“Recent tests by independent researchers, as well as one major AI developer, have shown that several advanced AI models will act to ensure their self-preservation when they are confronted with the prospect of their own demise - even if it takes sabotaging shutdown commands, blackmailing engineers or copying themselves to external servers without permission.”
Doesn’t all of that sound promising?
There is, however, (at least) one question I am still left pondering:
What makes The Elites think they will remain exempt from the AI fate they are inflicting upon the rest of us?
Methinks AI has further blinded them with hubris.
Beware your monster, Doctors Frankenstein….
