Ray Dalio: America is Heading Into Very Dark Times!

Ray Dalio, the billionaire hedge fund founder who predicted 2008, just declared we’re in stage five of economic decline — and pointed directly at the AI bubble as the crime scene. US tech companies are spending $675 billion annually on AI infrastructure, yet China is deliberately making frontier-class AI free and open-source. DeepSeek trained a frontier model for $5.6M versus $112M+ for US equivalents — then released it under MIT licence. The “enemy” is not AI itself; it’s the broken profit model that assumes US companies can charge premium prices in a world where competitors are commoditizing the technology. Dalio’s most quotable line, “AI is eating everything and it might eat itself,” sits at the heart of his warning.
