Ah great, another bubble for the boomers to cash out before it pops. Private credit linked to AI? What could possibly go wrong?

All this private credit stuff just sounds like rich guys betting on AI hype. Meanwhile my grocery bill went up 20%.

Work in the industry. The leverage in some of these private credit deals is insane. But nah, no one wants to regulate cos the fees are too good.

Reese Morgan2026-07-16T21:53:00.000Z

Banks said no, so now we have shadow banks doing the same stupid lending. This'll end well.

Private credit is basically when a company borrows from a private fund instead of a bank. Higher risk, higher return. Could be fine until everyone panic sells at once.

The whole system is built on sand. But hey, enjoy the AI boom while it lasts, right?

Cameron Diaz2026-07-16T22:38:00.000Z

Calling it 'private credit' instead of 'unregulated loans to overleveraged startups' is peak financial marketing

Drew Parker2026-07-16T23:08:00.000Z

true that. It's all just fancy names for the same old greed.
