Bribing people to use AI should be a giant red flag that clearly indicates this shit is a bubble.

I've been reading up on the dotcom bubble and all the red flags are there.

I'm curious. What red flags do you see between the two? I haven't done any research into the dot Com bubble.

Too many to fit in one comment. But the most obvious one was in the name itself. Companies would append "dotcom" to their business name and literally nothing else, and their values would go up 1000%. Sound familiar?
