Or do you think they will just move on to the next scam, like nothing happened?

I suspect it's the latter, but it sure would be nice if all those people who went super hard for the con suffered some kind of consequence for that decision.

Oh, I didn't even think about a bailout, which seems super obvious to happen at least in the United States of America.

I believe in the Butterly effect, and I think if enough of us reject generative "AI" that we can win.

Maybe I'm just a foolish optimist, but I prefer to have hope and will for a better future.

For now, I'm off to go tilt at more windmills 🙂

Yeah, to quote the old line from Shadowrun, "null sweat, chummer"! I just didn't think through fully what you were originally suggesting.

Hope you have an awesome day!

Society has failed to build antibodies against this kind of behavior.

I can't tell if you are joking or not, but the Venn diagram of people going the hardest for generative "AI" and cryptobros is shockingly close to a perfect circle.

Imagine how much better things would be if all those people were kicked out? Although now that I am re-reading what you wrote, I think you are suggesting there was no consequence for them then, and there will probably be none when the bubble bursts too.

Sorry for the lack of original understanding!

homeostasis and local minima, etc etc
