Michael Burry: Big AI execs' 'slow down' talk is self-serving IPO hype
SumitGup · x · 2026-09-14
Investor Michael Burry argues that calls by OpenAI, Anthropic and hyperscaler execs to slow AI are purely self-serving: LLMs aren't AI and won't reach AGI, so there's nothing to slow; slowing only benefits incumbents as competition closes in; "we're so powerful it's dangerous" is IPO hype; and it covers for growth already decelerating as IPOs get pushed out.
