Tell me his data is wrong, and then I'll care. His primary "prediction" is that it's a bubble and will crash. And he has lots of empirical facts regarding Anthropic, OpenAI, and all the related companies' actual financial situation. Him being wrong on different predictions does not change the fact that Anthropic and OpenAI are in massive debt and do not have the revenue to handle it, and that a huge percentage of the stock market is being propped up by AI. As he himself says, I really hope nothing bad happens, but the financials are to dire to ignore.

There is not one good reason other than hiding your actual measly revenue.

Betting in the way Anthropic/OpenAI/Nvidia are is legal, and still incredibly likely to cause harm. So sure, you're technically correct, but the resulting harm that we will all suffer when it all comes crashing down won't be any easier because it was legal...

The only rebuttal is "but look how cool AI is!". He mainly sticks to objective facts about their financial situation, and an honest analysis of that situation is dire, regardless of what you think of AI.

Democrats and Republicans are both capitalists and liberal in the classical sense, both of which leftists oppose.

They know their business model is not sustainable, so they are trying to prop it up before their IPOs.

How can you possibly believe this? What else would someone in his position say? No billionaire has humanity's interest at heart, so they try to hide that fact by building libraries (Carnegie) or creating foundations named after themselves.

All of his words and none of his actions support his caring at all about humanity, and you choose to believe his words? The man has an IPO coming up (probably one of the biggest ever!), he could not be in a less trustworthy position.
