I conjecture that some amount of the "doomer posting" is a consequence of other people realizing what you realized here and attempting to sway public sentiment for personal gain.

I doomer post because I see three basic possibilities:

* It's a bubble, it crashes (no moat etc.)

* It's not a bubble, we get superintelligence, it's not nice, it squishes us all like bugs

* It's not a bubble, we get superintelligence, it's nice, we all get UBI

From the perspective of your personal financial security, the range of scenarios where you want to invest in Anthropic seems rather narrow. And I don't like to fund the creation of something which might squish me like a bug.
