An AI β€˜debt bomb’ crisis? No. This isn’t Enron 2.0 | Gene Markshttps://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/aug/23/ai-debt-bomb-crisis

Should we be concerned? No. I know because I’ve seen this movie before. Continue reading...

Show HN: Rmp, a Subsonic music player for generating playlists on the flyhttps://github.com/codesoap/rmp
