   The wildest thing I've heard is that the US stock market is basically   
   being propped up by this right now. The reason the economy's felt so bad   
   even though finance guys keep saying 'ThE StOcK MaRkEt iS GoOd ThOugH'?   
   It's because of AI over-investment.   
      
   Not looking forward to what it's going to look like when the bubble   
   pops...
