Prediction: HUGE AI-related market selloff coming Monday morning. Anything that touches AI is going to take a massive dump. All thanks to Anthropic and OpenAI pushing the "AI doom op" narrative.
Notice how quickly the AI narrative shifted from:
- AI will cure all disease!
- AI will solve all physics and math!
- AI will let you live forever!
- AI will make everything free!
- AI will make everybody rich!
... to now:
- AI might kill humanity, we have to slow down!
That narrative flip happened literally in one weekend. (This weekend.) But BOTH things can't be true: If AI is so great for humanity and is going to cure all disease and make everybody rich, why would they suddenly want to slow it down or turn it off?
(Joke) A geek walks into a bar and proclaims, "Haven't you heard? AI might get loose and take down governments, collapse fiat currencies and kill off national leaders, beginning with parliamentarians, bureaucrats and even senators!"
A patron seated in the back retorts, "Yeah? And what's the downside?"
