Fantastic long article by Vijay Pande (a VC!) It's crucial reading if you wonder whether @AI is really a #bubble that might crash. The important thing it clarifies is what to do, politically and economically, "to steer what comes after" the crash. vijaypande.substack.com/p/let-it-cra...

I had been keeping my Twitter (i.e.X) account while Bluesky grew more. But i refused to register or pay. It's disgusting that the trillionaire should charge, when others don't, and that he would want to use people's communications to feed his Grok. Today I could not enter. I guess that's the end!

What if the AI excitement IS a bubble and there IS a crash?! Is anyone in government prepared to confront the consequences, not just saving finance as in 2008, but saving the victims and the economy? This from @asad09.bsky.social is essential reading: cdn.vanderbilt.edu/vu-URL/wp-co...

Acabo de ver en YouTube el video (de hace seis meses) de Gustavo Entrala titulado IA: ¿se aproxima la mayor BURBUJA financiera de la Historia? No sólo comprende mi teoría a fondo sino que realiza un análisis excelente de las razones para sospechar una burbuja y de por qué no todavía.

If you want to understand the troubles of British Steel and the solutions to them, read this article by @mazzucatom.bsky.social @annapick.bsky.social and AnnaHope in Substack. It makes clear both the proper role of the State and the harm done by some financialised actors

The ideal would be to tax fossil fuels to fund the green transition, rather than having the current chaos. But it's important to understand that without changing the relative prices of green electricity and fossil fuels the change will not happen on time to avoid irreversible climate change

The tragedy of #Venezuela! In 1965 it was among the highest in GDP per capita and in a democracy. After the oil price rise it got even richer. With Chavez and Maduro (calling themselves socialists) it is as poor as Haiti & 1/3 of the population has emigrated!

Whether you believe #AI is a #bubble or not, what is true is that no bubble in history has ever been discussed so intensely before it crashes. People have usually believed it's up forever. I wonder if that could influence the outcome.

In this talk for Futuroscope 2025 (with French subtitles) I say that populism happens midway along each technological revolution. The way out are policies creating new dynamic demand. Last time it was suburbanisation; this time it's reglobalisation for a North-South win-win game. urls.fr/xo9QKg

The difference is enormous between ivory tower academic institutions and IIPP, which produces scientific outputs and also connects with real world problems and works with real world leaders. These are times for policy and institutional innovation, so we need more academy-government links like this.

Good point by ‪@rainerkattel.bsky.social‬. He would agree that not just the innovation agencies but the whole bureaucratic edifice needs modernisation. In fact, the necessary return of the State is not in Trump's tariff-mad mode, but in a creative way, providing directionality and missions.

@johnthornhill.bsky.social 's article interviewing me about a possible AI bubble collapse was widely read and commented and referred to in dozens of newspapers around the world. I guess financial bubbles spur information bubbles. Shame my next book is not at the publisher's yet!

If we want Bluesky to be a real alternative, we must be patient and persevere. This experience of being the pioneers must have been the same with Twitter in the early years. Most of us joined when it already had millions of people participating. The more active we are, the quicker Bluesky will grow.

After getting various answers from ChatGPT that obviously were based on Wikipedia, I asked it if Open AI supported Wikimedia. It found Apple, Google.org, plus individual donors like Omidyar Network did, but not OpenAI. So I asked it to prepare a call for social media. This is it. Let's use it:

Indeed, Trump is wrong when thinking that the old factory jobs are what will "make America great again" but it's not because he's old; many old people like me understand technological revolutions and social progress.

This is one of the incredible facts of the tragedy of #Venezuela . While the ruling kleptocrats live in luxury, public sector workers earn, in a MONTH, below the DAILY poverty level wage of the UN (see #FT: www.ft.com/content/5ccb...).

Finally! Britain's parliament approved the #AssistedDyingBill. It still has to go to the Lords. It is limited to those who have only 6 months to live (probably 3 or 4 after doctors and a panel approve). It might be decades before it's a proper human right. Just like abortion, step by step.

It's difficult to understand that countries that don't want #migrants decide to cut their aid to the developing world, which is where the migrants come from. The only way to stop migrations is to support the development of the Global South with aid and investment.

After solar panels, electric vehicles and batteries, China will probably succeed with airplanes. There aren't enough markets in the North for both camps' production.

It obviously takes time to build a Twitter-like following and a habit. X is no longer what it was. They must be censoring and deciding what to feed into 'Home' because my followers no longer see me and I hardly get anything from English-speaking ones; just the Venezuelans and always the same ones.

Not only are the wealthiest not taxed enough, in comparison with the rest of the population, but they use every trick in the book and every crooked tax lawyer in the land to pay less than their due. @richardjmurphy.bsky.social‬ keeps track of the story. Apparently, something is being done about it.

Incredible! #AssistedDying (#euthanasia) could be denied to many who really want to end unbearable suffering, because a few people (who are going to die soon anyway) ‘might’ be encouraged by their relatives to ask for it. A very low opinion of human beings and... big business for Big Farma!
