I disagree with Doctorow's conversation with a student at Cornell. You can prevent further misallocation of funds by agitating against "AI" usage in general. If you are at Cornell, organize meetings, protests etc. against the dehumanization and decreased job prospects.
As a student, you have much more freedom to protest than as an employee, and that is where the resistance must come from.
We also need to take into account that while there is a bubble, most of the insane amounts of investment that were seen in headlines have not materialized.
Nvidia will crash, Tesla will crash (Optimus robot nonsense) but Microsoft and Google should be fine. If there is a bailout, protest again. preferably in the physical space and focusing on economic topics rather than culture wars (which is what the politicians want you to focus on).
