It makes perfect sense and is historically accurate. The crowd chant of "We will rock you!" was a common warning in that period signifying that those who trespass against the nobility will be stoned to death.

Reminds me of the first chapter of Snow Crash.

I can't say I agree with most of your details, but your second and last sentence are on point. This bubble (or bubble conglomeration that you describe) are not like any previous bubbles and in the end we are most certainly going to have a couple survivors still standing and take everything. The main thing I disagree with is that it will be the only thing that happens. We're going to see a massive gutting of the financial markets and although datacenters are real things that get used, we don't need this many specifically power hungry GPU/AI designed datacenters if the AI market pops. All these AI services are massively lossleading hoping to be one of the survivors. I think that once we get even close to the "pop" we're going to see desperate price hikes and even the bigger companies are going to raise their pricing along with it. I suspect that many of those customers are going to have to admit that their AI plans aren't living up to what they anticipated and will heavily curtain their usage once the prices jump.

I was hoping the next CEO would be something like Walt Wario or something.

Well, as I said, it was flawed. The XP grind near the end got roooough, especially since that was still in the era of losing XP when you died. That was especially frustrating when they had lag issues that killed you and then you lost a week of progress leveling up. The game was still a lot of fun though.

I'm afraid to even hear what this person thinks about a desktop.

My friend and I have made use of "On your left!" many times. Not one person has ever appreciated it. This makes me think that they also would not appreciate the "I understood that reference!" reference,

This is too dystopian for even Black Mirror. I propose we refer to this as, Brown Mirror.

Seeing as how it was a name of a thing created by a specific group of people, I call bullshit. If I invent a new thing and give it a name, that doesn't give a bunch of jackasses the right to steamroll over that because they don't like it.

This reminds me of when people correct people on how to pronounce their own name based on how it is spelled. I have seen this happen so many times and it infuriates me.

I just thought throwing gasoline on the fire would make it become "wet fire", I had no idea what I was doing!

For real, now THAT would be something I'd get behind.
