'We could lose control' is FUD: Reddit take says AI slowdown talk is market self-preservation

A Reddit post pushes back on the recent 'AI industry wants to slow down: we could lose control' narrative, arguing it's contrived cover: energy, funding, sentiment and profit-model obstacles mean companies are nowhere near delivering their 3-year hype. The author claims the real bubble is speculative market value, and 'it's too dangerous' talk lets firms cool markets before capex and circular investment stall — self-preservation, not altruism.
