Reminder that AI is "propping up" the economy the same way a tape worm
props up your metabolism.
It has completely choked off all capital investment to any other
activity for years. It completely devours resources needed by any
other endeavor. And for all that, it produces practically nothing
that people want or need. It's strangling the economy.

It turns out that AI was not the paper clip maximizer. It was actually the paperclip.
