    This is, consequently, also why all these AI companies are talking about selling computers to agents now. Its obvious the math doesn’t work when an agent costs more than a person does.

    … but if agents were selling agents to agents while agenting… the math works similarly to company n increasing its market cap exponentially by “investing” in another company… o which promises really hard to invest that back in company n…

    Look: its totally logical and all of this makes perfect sense. 🫧

        Theres a certain amount of inevitability in this… If its expected every single quarter you somehow produce better numbers than your last numbers… you are incentivised to make the sand castle taller by digging around its foundation spill more on the top. This applies to not only individual companies but the market at large - its practically fractal in nature.

        Most of the market by now is aware AI and its promises are bullshit. Its just about passing that hot potato nuke around until it explodes. Nobody is worried about each pass making it a bigger bomb… they’re worried about not being the guy holding it when it blows.
