What? Who gives a shit if AI vanishes or not. The greedy turds manipulating markets and raking in the money now won’t be the ones facing the consequences; that will fall on the rest of us peasants.
The problem with that is market value is decided by some arcane process that sane people can’t comprehend, by which I mean it goes up not if the company grows or makes new/better things but if people with a vested interest believe they can sell it later for a return, similary a materially successful business can go down in flames because a hedgefund decided to bet against it and then make it pay for its own buyout forcing a bankruptcy.

That being said, if you’re wrong, you can lose money doing the same.
