Comment by captain_coffee 11 days ago So ... will the crash be bigger that the one causing The Great Depression or smaller? Any bets? 5 comments captain_coffee Reply CodingJeebus 11 days 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 11 days ago This sounds good to the "earth is overpopulated" crowd. zvqcMMV6Zcr 11 days 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. rvz 11 days ago Before 2030, especially if the frontier AI labs begin to IPO before then. mhitza 11 days ago I'm really eager to see how Anthropic's IPO this year (if it even happens) will pan out.
