George Hotz: AI doom narratives exist to contextualize the valuations (geohot.github.io)
Hotz contrasts Anthropic's policy-and-danger output with rivals' plain engineering posts, and reads recursive-self-improvement warnings as marketing copy. The doom, he claims, values the industry on hypothetical future capability, not today's.
The thread's best objection turns his evidence on him: if institutional investors think mass unemployment is nonsense and invest accordingly, where is the doom-to-valuation link?
Another notes the export-control fight makes danger talk expensive, not profitable; one calls the post projection.
