    It’s the energy crisis. They realized “oh shit money is real now” and are trying to sooth investors.

    Interested how Monday will go. This is not what investors want to hear, even if it’s softened by markets being closed.

      I think it’s a combo of this and the fact that “intelligence” continues to not scale with the inputs as they’d hoped. I haven’t been keeping up with developments, but it feels like they’re finding new ways to discover that the brain is in fact an miraculously efficient and effective mechanism. Most their party tricks seem to be reproducing brains more minor processing feats in interesting ways. All the promised advancements have stagnated and what remains is just exploitation of economies of scale and its consequences, which is far from the revolution investors were promised.

          The market can stay irrational for a long time but it does eventually have to happen. The 2008 crisis was the result of overleveraging in 1999-2003 and interest rate rises from 2004-2007, so it can take years for it to crumble. 2 years is a long while but it could easily take two more before people realise the emperor has no clothes.
