Michael Burry criticizes AI leaders' calls to slow development

Investor Michael Burry, known for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, dismissed calls from executives at OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI firms to slow down AI development as self-serving. Burry argued that current large language models are not true artificial intelligence or AGI, and that these warnings are merely marketing tactics to generate hype and protect against competition ahead of potential IPOs.
