**AI Risk Claims Face Investor Skepticism**

Sam Altman and Dario Amodei told the UN Security Council that AI could be “a risk to humanity as a whole” and warned that we could “lose control of the future to AI.” Ten days earlier, Michael Burry called the message **self-serving hype**.

 **LLMs are not AI** and will not become AGI, so there is nothing to slow down.

 **Competition is arriving quickly**, which could reduce the benefits for incumbents.

 **IPO candidates need hype**. Saying “we are so awesome it could become dangerous” fits that pattern.

 The warnings may also provide **cover for slowing growth** if planned IPOs are pushed out.
