Theres the question of who is going to suffer most when the Wall Street hype machine is done hyping up A.I. companies. Were not done because a lot of these companieslike Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAIhavent gone public yet. Its going to reach its crescendo when they do. And Wall Street is going to hype up those stocks out of control, and people are going to buy into them because nobodys better than Wall Street at selling and hyping. And all of these retail investors and individuals around the world are going to buy into these things, and theyll trade way up, and then theyll trade way down. The institutional investors, the underwriters, and the founding shareholders will all make a killing. And the retail investors could get stuck holding the bag, as they always do. So thats one thing I worry about.
