As the AI market continues to balloon, experts are warning that its VC-driven rise is eerily similar to that of the dot com bubble.

Well there's two of us in this thread saying otherwise.

Fully admits to being a literal child at the time. Still talking like they have something to contribute about the situation they fully admit to knowing nothing about. Gets snarky with the people who were actually impacted by it.

Fucking why do people like you feel the compulsive need to open their mouths about every god damned thing? Maybe your opinion, I dunno, isn't relevant.

I would like to introduce you to a different possibility. It's called keeping your mouth shut and listening. Crazy idea, I know, but it's often followed by this thing called learning.

Give it a try sometime.

When did I say I was a child at the time? Where are you coming up with this stuff?

So you're angry and making things up for no reason? Nice, guy. Thumbs up.

It is not a competition. But your claim that normal working people was not hurt by the dotcom bubble can not be dismissed.

You're playing checkers...

Connect four, actually.

So according to this thread, 50% of people got affected by the dotcom bubble, right?

I went and looked up some actual numbers. According to this article:

Between November 2001 and April 2005, 415,600 tech jobs had been lost.

So a lot of people if you put them all in a room together, but not a huge number across the global economy.

Sure. Why not. If you're an idiot.
