Another excellent Zitron article.

The actual numbers he presents are well sourced and, sadly, correct.

Even if AI is the future of computing, we will have a 9.x economic earthquake headed our way.

Read his articles carefully. Don't be distracted by the salt, the swearing is just there to help the numbers go down easier.

Work it out with a pencil. For those of us with the usual innumeracy about billions, trillions, etc, it can be helpful to draw diagrams on graph paper.

Also, @dang, unflag this please, it is well within the HN ambit.
