I just watched this for the first time. The diagram which caught my eye was this one

If accountants and regulators can strip out all of the circular financing, we might get a look at how much AI product outside customers are purchasing. If enough outside customers are clamoring for AI product, there would be no need for circular financing.

It's not the first time I've seen a chart that looks like that when discussing ai financing.
I read this earlier today: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/10/01/anthropic-ipo-filing-the-disaster-in-numbers/

Yeah, I wish AI would go away. I don't want any of the financial consequences intruding into my life.

I was working in IT at that time. It was a nonissue. Computers were upgraded or replaced. Work carried on without incident.Anybody remember how Y2K ended the world, lots of experts predicted it and they were right
I was in the tech industry at that time (still am). The concerns about what would happen when the clocks turned over had more to do with the fact that no matter how exhausively you test (and there was a LOT of testing), there may exist some scenario that you failed to see.Anybody remember how Y2K ended the world, lots of experts predicted it and they were right
I don't recall anybody who actually knew what they were talking about saying it was the end of the world, though...

That's what a noose does as it tightens. So, a basic question whose answer is assumed in the title. Is it a noose? My opinion is it's a noose. Will Rodgers, cowboy philosopher... 'spinning a rope is fun as long as your necks not in it.'

I find the(worldwide) predeliction to intrude into databases that are off limits to be revealing. Pronounced accidental and unsought by AI's developers but recurring mightily. Kind of like where corporations get caught double charging and billing after unsubscribing, charging dead people etc. All professed to be unintentional but the 'misstep' always put the corporation at an advantage. Never to their disadvantage. Monetary advantage when it is a overcharge situation. Access to off limits databases when it is AI.
I know that if I was caught intruding into US Federal off limts databases, I'd face court and possible or actual incarceration. AI just gets a wave of the hand "Oh it is a quirk. No-one knew" or "It does things we can't anticipate". Funny how intruding into a government database is a very particular action which would never be simple or straightforward. In the process stealing the central store of most confidential exclusive information.
Yeah. It's just an accident.
