The Big Short is a falling political jenga
There was this campaign carried out in 1994 on the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO). The author alerted of its rusting, corrosive, and acidic properties. He urged people to support the bill for outlawing it.

Does anyone remember #TheBigShort? It’s frankly astounding that anyone who paid attention during the 2008 #financialcrisis would be even remotely surprised that the #markets are behaving in a similar fashion. Fortunes were made on the backs of ordinary people & their homes back then. This time the parasites have centered themselves on the false belief that #ai is the ultimate way to increase #profit by eliminating the cost of #labor. As ‘irrational exuberance’ (aka funneling money to AI based on hopium) grows, the #bubble is that much closer to bursting. This time around the global #economy is in even greater danger https://finance.yahoo.com/economy/policy/articles/ai-boom-risks-global-financial-132934736.html

Starting to realize #TheBigShort was about some investors who were so slow to identify the bubble, that it was actually ready to pop when they finally did short it.

The #SpaceX #IPO reminds me of the clip in #TheBigShort where the stinky fish is disguised in the seafood stew.

Spannend & vielen Dank, @mina 🙏
Während meiner Bank-Finanzausbildung (zum Finanzassistent mit nachfolgender Studienberechtigung als sog. „Spitzenazubi“) fühlte ich mich bei der Hospitation in der Investmentabteilung sehr unwohl: Viele hochnäsige Boni-Abzocker, die letztlich doch nur mit dem Zinsvorteil durch die staatliche Gewährträgerhaftung zockten.
Ging ja dann auch schief, Millionenverluste, die Abteilung wurde abgewickelt.
Habe gestern auch mit K3 „The Big Short“ angeschaut & besprochen.
Ich möchte so gerne, dass Menschen die Psychologie von Finanzblasen erkennen. Und also auch nicht länger auf Verschwörungsunternehmer wie Elon Musk oder früher „Hoss & Hopf“ hereinfallen.

The Big Short is still fantastic.
And the credits music is tonight’s Hey Siri song.

The Big Short film was released just over 10 years ago. It came out in January 2016 in the UK and Ireland.
It’s become one of my favourite films. I might rewatch it tonight after I empty my new music hoppers.

@carnage4life Isn't this what bankers did with sub-prime mortgages? Bundle the garbage together into a complicated new product, get someone shady to give it an 'A' rating, then just wait for suckers to queue up to buy it. How did Margot Robbie describe it?

The Big Short is een herkijkbare film. De eerste keer om het onwaarschijnlijke verhaal: het ontstaan van de financiële crisis in 2008. En alle andere keren erna om het geweldige acteerwerk, het tempo — de pacing — en de dialogen. Ik heb de film meerdere keren gezien. En wanneer ie per ongeluk op TV is en al val ik half-in, ik blijf toch elke keer weer kijken.
In deze podcast praat de […]

If you haven't already done so, I would recommend watching #TheBigShort - either for the first time or again. Readily available in the UK at the moment on a popular streaming channel.
For every mention of bankers or dealers you hear, substitute Tech Bros and governments. Every time you hear subprime substitute #AI
At the end of the film, about events that took place in 2007, take note of the phrase "Blame it on the poor and immigrants "
Some things never change. Chilling.

It's been 2 month I'm extremely convinced that AI is going to crumble.
The expectations, the costs of running it, of training it, the level of the results.Everything points to me as a massive bubble.

Remember Christian Bale's character in The Big Short? Michael Burry, real person, now he's betting against Palantir and Nvidia.
I wouldn't be happy about the world economy collapsing, but letting the current madness continue isn't great either.

This one is maybe less of a deep cut, but the director of #Anchorman (and several other #WillFerrell movies) wrote and directed #TheBigShort, and exec produced and directed the pilot of #Succession.

It was clear before, it us clear with evidence now. This is not just a coup, it’s a heist. Expect it to happen again. This is #TheBigShort, part of Trump’s and his friend’s #GreatAmericanGrift.

"How do you know the bonds are worthless? Aren't they filled with fucking thousands of pages of mortgages?"
"I read them!"
"You *read* them?"
"Yes!"
"No one reads them! Only the lawyers who put them together read them."
"I don't think *they* even know what they've made."
This exchange from The Big Short just keeps feeling more and more relevant, honestly.
