Most likely 1934-35. The carrier closest to the viewer is USS Lexington (built in the mid-1920's, sunk in 1942). The heavy cruiser to its right rear is likely USS San Francisco (commissioned in early 1934) with its tripod mast (New Orleans Class). The other two big ships are battleships of the "Standard Type" built late in WW1 and early 1920's, with their original "cage masts" before later modifications in the late 1930's and WW2.

That the Bay Bridge under construction? Because it was built before WW2.

Artificial Intelligence is the new hype. Its like a carnival barker mentality.
Every bubble has some type of hype. Go back as "recent" as the dot.com and internet stocks bubble of 2000 and look at they hysteria-level hype back then.
Just look at how rich Mark Cuban got with Broadcast.com being bought by Yahoo for around $5.3 billion around 1999, and then a few years later Yahoo shuts it down.
At least this time the "hype stocks" like AMZN and GOOGL are making money as compared to the likes of Garden.com and Pets.com.
Are you all seeing anything on the virtual horizon to give any insight on what the next hype will be ?

That's the point: it can't be WWII-era photo as the caption suggests.
