        It will take more jobs than we expect and will still be a bubble

        Just because there isn’t a need for a $13M AI driven app that gives you ideas on what to eat for dinner doesn’t mean there isn’t hundreds of world changing applications

            That’s like saying the loom empowered weavers instead of replacing them, if you make a workforce work 2x faster, you may up the production as much as wages and recruitment difficulties impeded you, but you only need so much of one industry at the end of the day so you will get unemployment.
