      How else would you bet against AI if not by shorting?

      I mean I have heard of betting sites having bets on some weird stuff, maybe they offer AI bubble bursts by x date, but I doubt it

      • That’s why I asked. Shorting would involve betting the bubble will pop in a specific time frame and has no upper end to what I could lose if the bubble doesn’t pop in time. I was asking if there is any other way to bet against them that I didn’t know about. Something without that time frame and/or lower risk.

          Yes, investing in non AI companies and avoiding indices which include AI. Lower risk/reward, more passive stance. Shorting is higher risk/reward, active stance against it.

      Put options on NVIDIA? Still has the problem of having to prefict when it’ll pop.

      It’s hard to think of a company that stands to gain massively from AI collapsing, so I say just put your money in index funds that exclude the “magnificent 7” (Tesla, Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon, and Meta) or even put it in foreign country’s index funds.

      Perhaps invest in the “wait and see” companies? On the theory that companies that went all-in on ai have now massively disadvantaged themselves in their respective competitive marketplaces.
