Ed Zitron is so last week. Michael Burry so pre-Nvidia earnings call hedge. So the chicken littles had to escalate to AI will kill us instead of dismissing it as a Ponzi Scheme because it just wasn't generating the engagement anymore. In the past two days, two nontechnical people I know approached me deeply concerned that AI would kill us all in a few years. I reassured them this was ludicrous. But f*** me this is irresponsible beyond belief. How do you keep this country competitive when the social and corporate media channels keep telling everyone they are doomed on every possible dimension? But also, once people become numb to this one like they are numb to Zitron and Burry now, what will it take to scare them once more? And how will they be able to distinguish from more doomer hyperbole and a genuine threat like a global recession related to a runaway AI bubble?
