so no government in this whole world is regulating AI companies... such a worst time to be in this world. I just wish this AI bubble to burst hard and crash these selfish AI companies.

Kinda funny when these greedy Mofos “AI Bros” are buying up anything and everything to starve off newer startups and local PC businesses. Assuming their wet dreams are to put a dumb terminal in every PC user’s hands, the probability of people totally abandoning any cloud based services altogether cannot be ruled out.

How long can these few companies sustain this tech buying spree if there is no return on their investments? 2 years, 5 years, 10 years? No one including Google has infinite money glitch.
