❗️AI billionaires are building the future… and planning their escape A growing narrative claims that top tech founders including Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, and Mark Zuckerberg are quietly preparing for worst-case scenarios, from stocked bunkers to remote compounds, while continuing to push AI forward. The core contradiction: • Public message: AI will transform industries and solve major problems • Private behavior: hedging against collapse (land, security, supplies) • Some insiders reportedly estimate a meaningful risk of catastrophic AI outcomes Parallel worlds of the ultra-rich: • Private healthcare, elite education, personal security • Ability to relocate instantly (jets, global properties) • Result: reduced dependence on societal stability The “founder transformation” effect: • According to Scott Galloway, tech leaders often follow a pattern: idealistic → powerful → defensive/aggressive • Figures like Dario Amodei are seen as part of a system that rewards this shift The non-obvious bet: AI may not be profitable: • AI could follow industries like airlines: ~ Massive impact ~ Weak long-term returns • Drivers: ~ Model commoditization ~ Rise of low-cost / open alternatives (especially from China) • Thesis: value accrues to users, not companies @aipost🏴
