But doesn’t cheap and easy AI make the economy more productive?
There's no indication of this so far.
I think a bunch of people lose their jobs either way.

I know I've cumulatively spent at least a few hours of my life scrolling past AI search results and dismissing prompts to enable AI features in applications that don't need AI over the last couple of years.

Between the energy waste, time waste, and LLMs ability to deliver confident sounding bullshit to people who don't want to double check anything, I would say AI has been a net negative for humanity.

Top is not in on AI/LLM pessimism.

AI will be used to more efficiently extract profits. Capitalism offers few incentives to directly make people's lives better other than through offering "better" products to buy. Zuck has been pretty clear about how the Meta AI model will be used to replace software engineers. Developer top is in (?)?

Zuck is just desperately trying to match Altman’s fear mongering while their respective AI efforts are about to be obliterated by open source, democratized AI!

BTW, I am NOT saying TOP IS IN. Just Zuck and Altman Top is In!

I finally did something "big" in terms of investing other than just regular purchases. I am waiting on a check for a conversion of an old 401k to a new rollover account.

Does that mean the top is finally in because I have to wait to buy back in?!?

I came here hoping that the top is in now finally.

I'm disappointed. This is taking forever. Like seriously, it's been years now, and I'm still waiting. This is like watching paint dry, except 1,000 times slower and the paint constantly changes color as it dries so you never really know what color it will be when it's done drying.

Where is the fast food version of top is in?

Neutral Sentiment driving the market, premarket is red.  Fear is not in neither is Greed, the Top is in but not in.   It will go down and probably up today but where it closes is a mystery.
