The author argues AI hype and doom are two costumes of one pitch: "the tech is so powerful the winners control it — buy a piece." The real problem: insiders already see stratospheric bubble risk and many want to offload early investments, handing the bag to private investors stuck with negative ROI. The myth is the product — don't buy a narrative you can't cash. Context ties the recent doomerism to the Anthropic IPO.
