I'll add:

Non revenue generating sports for colleges shouldn't be set behind paywalls and advertising should cover games. It would help the schools out a lot more that way.

Paywalls for football and men's basketball? I can understand that.

AI is the worst thing to come to the tech sector in years for me in IT and every software suite we use on a technical level is enshitified. From servers, to cyber security, to networking, to basic OS level GUI management.

So yeah, it's horrible.

Yes there was a dot com bust but the Internet didn't go away. Quite the opposite.

The dot com bubble was never about the "internet". It was about 50k websites built for one single use task that investors hyperinflated, just like AI, until everything crashed down when ROI was abhorrent.

What happened shortly after was centralization and one or two major websites becoming supreme (amazon and google, with ebay lagging third).

The central issue with AI is that the ROI is horrifically bad and every tech company is shoehorning it in with investors panicking that they're losing massive amounts of money on it. The end result is going to be one or two major ai companies still sticking around and AI becoming more of a use case tool instead of a wonder to the layman.

Feels like AI implementation is just a nice PR/Investor excuse for what is typical restructuring here.

It goes even further than that. AI is so unfathomably stupid that companies are having to hire contractors to fix the issues that wouldn't have been there in the first place if they didn't implement the damn software to begin with. It's so half baked that companies are losing money after implementation just to fix the bullshite that generative AI causes.

Point I'm making is "fools gold automation" isn't taking jobs away.

And I agree with you that most jobs that won't return will be due to redundancy. But to blame AI for that is bonkers.

The central issue is that the big 4 in the tech sector are catering their entire OS environments, hardware, and software suites to AI and it's a COLLOSSAL failure. And every subsequent tech company is a trickle from AMD, Intel, Meta, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, and Apple. The same situation is going to happen like in 99, you'll have one or two AI companies that survive and the tech is going to evolve into an actual, metered use case: supped up search engines to assist with simplified tasks.

Coders are fine. Accountants are fine. Mid level management is fine. It's been proven in every model (Claude, GPT5, grok, Gemini) that any task, regardless of knowledge data base, given to it that is more difficult for a 10 year old to complete, it hallucinates like crazy and shits itself. And it's just going to get worse.

Alarmism.

As someone in the tech sector, most of my collogues and I agree: the bubble is about the burst and it's going to make the dot com bubble look like childsplay.

Every major industry is hemorrhaging money hand over fist due to AI implementation and overhyped/speculative use case. Most industries in my sector utilized AI to circumvent actual people and aren't saving money in the slightest.

All generative AI is is an aggregate, a supped up search engine. If you structurally understand how it works (data in, data out per request and query), you understand that it lacks and will always lack the capacity of full automation at its fundamental level. The reason tech companies are starting to lose money on it is because ROI is horrible in investors eyes and investors are finally understanding that it's basically google on steroids and only really perfected for simple query's.

So calm ya tits and sell before the bubble bursts. And enjoy normalcy coming back to electronics prices and data centers not raising utility costs in your area.
