Is an AI crash imminent? Well, Doors of Perception chronicled the dawn of the internet; spent years asking, "but what is it for?"; and then, when nobody answered with much conviction, was not surprised by dotcom crash. So today's AI-angst does indeed feel a bit deja vu.

Don't you love these throwaway lines in today's FT? “95 per cent of organisations are getting zero return” (from AI) and "some investors are likely to lose a lot of money" (Altman). https://www.ft.com/content/33914f25-093c-4069-bb16-8626cfc15a51 (Why the snark? Ask me about the dotcom crash)
