In the 1800s, doctors warned against riding trains. The human body, they said, wasn't built to go over 50 km/h. Organs would shake loose. And the cows in the fields would stop producing milk from sheer shock as the trains passed. When GPS entered cars in the early 2000s, people seriously worried we'd all start driving off cliffs or into each other — staring at the GPS instead of the road. (There's a great Office episode where Michael Scott does exactly that — drives straight into a lake because the GPS told him to.) When Y2K hit, people locked themselves in bunkers, convinced planes would fall from the sky, nukes would launch from their silos, and the world's electronics would die. The cause? A bug that never really became anything. 1999 turned into 2000, and life went on. Dario from Anthropic — the boy who cried wolf — is at it again with a fresh attempt at regulatory capture, trying to keep competitors from catching up. He says we need to halt AI development (and let Anthropic decide where the line goes). Otherwise it'll kill us all. Or take our jobs. Or our wives. Maybe. Probably not. I don't think my wife's leaving me for Claude anytime soon. Here's the real problem: Pessimists sound smart. Optimists make money. So I've levered my stock portfolio 20% and I'm betting it'll be fine. 🤑 As the old joke goes: Buy stocks. If the bombs don't fall, you're up. If they do, none of it mattered anyway. 😊
