The insane AI push is purely driven by fear of being left behind.

No one is actually stopping to ask whether it is all worth it.

    No one is stopping to ask whether it’s all worth it? … Actually, I think millions of us make comments to that extent every day. We’re kind of upset that these scam artists are dominating the stock market enough to fuck with our retirement plans. If the rich people were gambling with their own money, that would be stellar. But they aren’t. And… I sure wish we could stop them.

      Most 401k plans have some options that can reduce or eliminate stock owned in the biggest tech companies, at least.

      Selling any “Large Cap” or “Full Index” stocks, and buying into a Mid-Cap Index should drastically reduce ones 401k’s risk from and participation in the current tech bubble.
