I’ve been listening to “The Smartest Guys In The Room” (the definitive book on Enron and their scandal) and one of the ways Enron continued to grow and grow is by setting up a really complicated system of moving debt onto equities off of their balance sheet.

While it was sorta legal (at the time) it was not ethical and led to a massive collapse of the #1 company at the time.

Makes you wonder if AI is in such a bubble. (It is).

When the AI bubble pops, what will happen to the software engineering jobs?

If it pops, some ai engineers will need to start doing some normal work again, and rest of us... we just continue doing what we were doing for past decades.

Or maybe not, nobody knows the future any more then next guy in line.
