> I dont think AI even factors in to this.

I think another way to look at the expansion of the capitalist economy is the onboarding of people into entry day jobs and transitions of economies upward..

AI may have relatively little to do with the US' tantrums yet I think it has a lot to do with the end of expansion and a fast contraction of the availability of top jobs as the last economies enter the middle of the funnel can't be good.
