Both labs have also filed the paperwork for upcoming IPOs. So maybe ninety percent of this is marketing and ten percent is real. The extinction narrative is the part that sells, so it's the only part anyone shares.\n\nIn this episode, Symon and Marcello go through who's saying what about the AI apocalypse, what they've actually written down, and whether it's marketing hype or real. This isn't an anti-AI take or a hype take. It's the more useful one: the fear probably isn't entirely fake, but it's being used, and those are two different claims worth keeping separate.\n\nThis one's for anyone trying to read AI headlines without getting played by them, whether you're advising on AI or just trying to figure out where it actually fits in what you're building."}
