Comment by captain_coffee 5 hours ago So ... will the crash be bigger that the one causing The Great Depression or smaller? Any bets? 5 comments captain_coffee Reply zvqcMMV6Zcr 4 hours ago Not even close. The 2008 financial crisis is better comparison. And even then I think most negative effect will come from investors pulling money away from everything non-AI, than OpenAI/Anthropic/Oracle crashing and burning. CodingJeebus 5 hours ago The Great Depression saw 25% unemployment and a third of farmers losing their land. Millions could die if it gets that bad today. lifetimerubyist 4 hours ago This sounds good to the "earth is overpopulated" crowd. rvz 5 hours ago Before 2030, especially if the frontier AI labs begin to IPO before then. mhitza 5 hours ago I'm really eager to see how Anthropic's IPO this year (if it even happens) will pan out.
