Someone made an argument that we are already an oligopoly. If that's true we probably have at least 20 years of stagnation ahead of us. Meaning the AI bubble won't burst because those that hold the levers of power just won't let it.
My local water is at least a public institution but it is so corrupt and badly managed. If you set up auto pay you might get a multiple thousand dollar bill "on accident"
You can fuck off!
