Boo. I was delighted by its introduction in pixel 8. I thought this was a resurgence of the old Google, actually giving a f about software, security and the end user.

iPhone 17 has it now. maybe Google's work here is done

Don't forget that the debt to geo ratio is only 120%. Japan was able to get up to 200% in a low interest the rate environment.

> Agents will explode the use 100x or more

That _could_ happen, but very likely not in a short enough timeline to save them.

> In fact spacex story tells you next : investments in infrastructure is the best investment

ROFLMAO. How's the stock doing?

I think Ed's argument is that given the infra investment the revenue won't be enough to pay back the original investors. In fact cheaper models make this worse for them. Who cares about the investors? Well it turns out the infra was financed in large part by debt that was securitized and a bunch of regarded investors that bought the debt looking for higher returns will be taking a huge haircut when the bubble pops. The amount of securitized debt is roughly the same as the mortgage backed securities back on 2007, ergo the prediction is a big recession.

What's unclear to me is if this is a systemic issue that's going to cause credit to freeze up but imo the opacity of the shadow banking "system" does not help here. If you see one cockroach, etc.

But me asking questions is in fact my trying to understand, is it not? I ask a stupid simple question with a slightly rude tone, and then I get downvoted by a bunch of pedantic insiders. Although to be fair it appears some are trying to help.

Look dude, every field develops its own terminology. It's not a conspiracy, just an emergent property. But it always makes getting into the field, or understanding what's in the field, much harder than it needs to be.
