A.I Bubble Now A Worry For 36-Year-Old Men Who Cannot Explain Their Very New Career To Their Mates

The one mate in your social circle who has previously pitched himself as an expert in both cryptocurrency and NFTs - might be in a bit of strife with his new vocation, it has been confirmed.

Because there's talk that the A.I Boom might be an A.I bubble.

Those who are old enough to remember a time before CEOs decided to start wearing T-shirts under jackets are starting to recognise very similar patterns to the early 2000s dot com crash.

Those riding the A.I boom say that this kind of pessimism and death-riding is typical of 'the boomers' who hate that 'the future' appears foreign to them.

And according to these elder millennial gate-keeprs, the future looks like a tech dystopia of unprecedented wealth hoarding and mass retrenchments, which is a necessary direction for society because government regulators and 'the mainstream media' do nothing but get in the way of entrepreneurs who are actually smarter than all of them.

Unfortunately, the general public doesn't think the archetypical 'tech bros' are as cool as they used to.

Unlike the rise of the Zuckerbergs and Steve Jobs who came across as refreshing disruptors to a tired corporate landscape, the modern prodigies are now tarnished by the algorithmic slop of late-stage social media and the mental illness-inducing anxiety of constant technological reliance.

While A.I may seem just cool to the next generation of keynote speakers, they must contend with an overwhelmed human civilisation who are starting to feel a deep nostalgia for AM radio and landline phones.

Speculation about a bubble started when these so-called boomers (people aged over 45) began airing concerns that leading AI tech firms might be artificially inflating the value of their stocks with a circular flow of investments.

This means that all the blokes who thought cartoons were going to replace hard currency in 2022, are looking more and more like they might be dragged down in a crash.

But unlike the banks that got bailed out during GFC, these blokes haven't spent enough time shmoozing the political class. In fact, they have actually shown great disdain for them.

And still, we have no idea what any of them actually do.
