"An essential part of being able to say ‘I told you so’ is in fact having told you so" is perhaps the best opening sentence of an article I've ever read.

The AI-collapse pre-mortem - Bert Hubert's writings

An essential part of being able to say ‘I told you so’ is in fact having told you so. Here goes. In April 2023, I wrote an article titled AI: Guaranteed to disrupt our economies. In this piece I also announced I was going to make a fool of myself by making some AI predictions. I have singularly failed to do so. In retrospect this was all spot on, except for perhaps missing the sheer magnitude of the madness that was about to ensue.

"selling to clever people is not a trillion dollar opportunity" is also an absolute cracker of a sentence.

@Floppy I also liked the FT's

"Ten loss making artificial intelligence start-ups have gained close to $1tn in valuation over the past 12 months, an unprecedented increase that adds to fears about an inflating bubble in private markets that could spill over into the wider economy." https://on.ft.com/43opmxZ
