    I’d love more of the msm to pick up these articles.

    I need to convince my family this current state of AI is just smoke, mirrors and debt, but i need a normie-credible source to anchor it.

    Does anyone know of one? Guardian would do.

        I don’t want them to plan their lives around it. My brother is thinking of switching career and my parents have some investments etc based around line-go-up.

        But also I just look like a conspiracy guy until the bubble pops, but then im the “i told you so guy” and that sucks.

          I would just tell them to think long term instead of focusing on the new shiny thing. Software development is still a perfectly valid skill to learn, and if your investments are in tech ETFs or mutual funds, they’ll be managed and hedged against avoid losing a significant amount of value.

          If they still want to chase the shiny thing, you can’t logic them out of an illogical position. All you can do is recommend they have a fallback cushion, and only invest time/money/effort that they can afford to lose.
