- Investor firstadopter slams an OpenAI exec's comment about AI potentially killing everyone: saying it weeks ahead of a trillion-dollar IPO is incredible, and he should resign if he believes it.
- He argues the statement hands AI opponents and disingenuous politicians fodder to damage the infrastructure buildout — "absolutely brain dead to post this."
- Garrison Lovely sarcastically replies that the exec must have been left off the doomers' email chain agreed for one last hype push to make Anthropic's IPO pop.
