Steve Keen is a sophist. These kind of academics these days (post social media/youtube) spend more time talking to non experts and lay people than doing any serious work. Its like the attention economy keeps them employed rather than solving an actual problem. Pay attention to such folk at your own risk. They will act as if the weather is controllable if x y and z happens when the truth is the weather cant be controlled.

Also AI is not like 2008 because unlike the housing market which is ancient and predictable AI is new and not predictable. Steve Keen cant predict what AI is going to do next week. On top of it there are geopolitical/national security layers that will influence the story in ways economics doesnt handle.

The old adage always applies - the market can stay irrational longer than we can stay solvent!

did he predict the 2008 crash with a "soon" date too?
