Six facts. No hyperbole. All in the past 60 days.
- AI is the fastest-growing product category in world history.
- One of the latest models is so powerful that its maker won't release it to the public.
- OpenAI and Anthropic say their most powerful AI coding models are now building themselves.
- AI companies are growing less transparent as models grow more powerful. The federal government requires zero transparency.
- AI resentment is building fast. In early April, the San Francisco home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was the target of two attacks in the same week. Shaken, he wrote: "The fear and anxiety about AI is justified ... Power cannot be too concentrated."
- AI havoc is no longer theoretical: This year's great software rout erased $2 trillion in value as investors realized, week by week, new human tasks that the latest models would wipe out, from coding to real estate services to legal research to financial management.
