They're marketing AI to investors, not to end-user plebs.

This is a pump-and-dump scheme.

Exxon has never bragged to investors that they'd burn so much oil, civilization would collapse from climate change. They've always talked about how great fossil fuels are for the economy and our living standards. It makes no sense to sell apocalypse to investors either.

  • They're selling FOMO to investors.
