The entire US economy is currently being propped up by growth in the AI/tech sector. And I am convinced that LLMs are fundamentally incapable of delivering on the promises being made by the AI CEOs. That means there is a massive bubble that will eventually burst, probably taking the whole US economy with it.

Let’s say, for sake of argument, that I am a typical American. I work a job for a wage, but I’m mostly living paycheck to paycheck. I have maybe a little savings, and a retirement account with a little bit in it, but certainly not enough that I can retire anytime in the near future.

To what extent is it possible for someone like me, who doesn’t buy into the AI hype, to insulate themselves from the negative impact of the eventual collapse?

    This is a great question, I’ll be watching the replies. I had a similar thought this morning as I was checking how my very humble ETF investments were looking, and I remembered that NVIDIA is a chunk of one of them…

    I don’t have much disposable income to invest, but I like to put a little bit in non-fossil fuel ETFs, and I feel like they’ll get super risky once the bubble pops (which I agree, it will).
