The Trump Administration’s Continued War Against Science, Research, Public Health, and the Rule of Law – Part 7

This article is the seventh in a series focused on how the second Trump presidency unleashed a causal chain that has rapidly morphed into an extensive continued attack against civil liberties, commerce, government funded programs, research and the rule of law.

The better you understand what you’re actually looking for before you prompt, the better your results.

The Imminent AI Bubble Crash (and Why It Won’t Matter in the Long Run)

This article examines why today’s AI boom resembles the dot-com bubble—soaring valuations, unprofitable companies, copy-cat entrants, and heavy speculation driven in part by infrastructure providers themselves. Drawing parallels from 1999 to now, Jerry Lawson argues that although an AI correction is inevitable, it won’t derail the long-term transformation AI will bring. The bubble will burst—but the technology will endure, and the real winners will emerge in the next wave.
