" The Bank for International Settlements has warned that an AI bust could hit credit markets as hard as 2008, precisely because so much of the buildout runs through debt and circular deals. Those interlocking arrangements are what unsettle regulators. When chipmakers, cloud providers and model developers invest in one another, a stumble at any one node can ripple outward, and the exposure is harder to see from the outside." https://thenextweb.com/news/a-fed-official-is-asking-whether-ai-is-becoming-too-big-to-fail #AI #Economics #Bubble #TooBigToFail #Banks

Carlyn Beccia- "MAGA Republicans. ...the researchers defined the term with clinical precision: Republicans who voted for Donald Trump in 2020 and deny the results of that election. The dividing line is the denial itself: the willingness to hold that an election was stolen in the absence of evidence. That single belief turns out to be a genetic marker. Everything else travels with it. The group is about 15 percent of American adults — roughly 38 million people.
