"Risky" doesn't mean "bad investment". All the AI companies are high risk, high reward plays, and their interest rates will reflect that.

Nobody can read a map anymore, either. Or operate a loom, etc, etc.

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day" Ralph Waldo Emerson.

It would be one thing if he once admitted that he was wrong and adapted his world view to account for new information, but he just doubles and triples down.

Inflation also inflates stock prices.

There are living reptiles that are still kind of in the intermediate stage with one-way airflow through parts of their respiratory system without having two orifices.

Okay, so what happens if you ask them to be dangerous, either intentionally, or unintentionally. Do you not think every crime syndicate and intelligence service on earth isn't planning on doing that or actively doing it right now?

AI's can get malicious prompts.

Do you want them to wait until an agent gets compromised or goes on a sidequest to test if a determined AI can break containment?

A "poll" they released in june 2026 caused mallory mcmorrow's chances on polymarket to drop from 26% to 9% almost overnight.

The selzer poll was not a fake poll. It was an outlier. She was famously one of the best most reliable pollster in the country. Sometimes polls are just wrong just from pure bad luck and you still publish them if you trust your methodology.

It isn’t necessarily a crime to lie or do a hoax, and a fake poll by itself is probably well within the lines of free speech. The fraud question comes into it for two possible cases:

1) someone might have paid them to do a real poll and they faked it, which is just straightforward fraud with a clear victim.

2) (the fun one) they might have done it to manipulate political prediction markets, which gets into securities fraud questions.

Assuming that AI-driven game development ever becomes a real thing, they could literally lose every single developer they have now and still be fine.

Everything is political. Just people on the early internet tended to have a particular personality type that shared certain political views.
