There’s the question of who is going to suffer most when the Wall Street hype machine is done hyping up A.I. companies. We’re not done because a lot of these companies—like Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI—haven’t gone public yet. It’s 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 nobody’s 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 they’ll trade way up, and then they’ll 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 that’s one thing I worry about.
