By far the shrewdest and most entertaining analyst of the AI bubble is Georg Zoeller, ex Facebook. Re-reading his DeepSeek reaction piece from 18 months, which holds up well.

A vision for the future of AI, focusing on access, safety, and shared prosperity as OpenAI works to ensure AGI benefits everyone.
A quote from Daniel Stenberg
The challenge with AI in open source security has transitioned from an AI slop tsunami into more of a ... plain security report tsunami. Less slop but lots of reports. …

24-year-old ex-OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner built a $20B AI hedge fund called Situational Awareness. He bet heavily on AI related stocks until this week’s selloff led to a margin call and he had to liquidate his public portfolio. Actually sounds like a lack of situational awareness.
