Borrowing Gary’s take on this since its the first one I found
TLDR: A lot of AI company stocks dropped last night, half a trillion dollars gone. Trump is considering having a government stake in OpenAI and other leading AI companies (aka thinly veiled bailout)

It’s a shame Gary Marcus is usually right because his writing style and personality are so annoyingly smug. He hates LLMs but only because he wants his own methods to be the path to AGI (or we could just… Not try to build AGI?) and wittering on about Trump bailing out OpenAI being socialism (bailouts are not generally considered socialism - it’s such an annoying tic to just shout socialism any time governments do something you don’t like). Still great to see the stock market cottoning on - hopefully this sticks and it’s not just short-lived deepseek panic again
