To disarm the big tech bomb, including “AI”, the public needs to be on high alert — as AI firms start to visibly wobble, we need clear demands and firm commitments from our leaders that if it all comes crashing down, the public won’t be the one left holding the bag.

    The AI bailout will happen: the tech bros made sure of it by tying their stock to the working stiffs’ 401Ks through S&P500 index funds. It was a brilliant scam and they pulled it off without any trouble in Trump’s fasch-land.

      Just saying, if everyone were to actually call their retirement fund manager and have them divest your 401k away from these assholes, that can be done. Then they would be left with the bag, not us.

      But getting 100M people to do anything is nearly impossible.

        Most folks don’t have a “retirement fund manager”, they just have a web portal with their company’s plan with the same 10 shitty target date funds.
