High interest rates + tariff terror -> less investment -> less jobs

But let's blame AI

More investment -> more return on investment -> "AI is increasing worker efficiency" -> This is good for AI.

Less investment -> more layoffs -> "AI is replacing workers" -> This is good for AI.

A computer does something good -> "That's AI" -> This is good for AI.

A computer does something bad -> "It needs more AI" -> This is good for AI.

It seems more true than the "this is good for bitcoin" meme now that bitcoin seems to track the dollar very closely
