Is AI Doom Real... or Just Good Marketing?

Is AI doom about protecting the public, protecting profits, or a little of both?

I break down the incentives behind AI fear, why companies like OpenAI and Anthropic might welcome regulation, and how cheaper open-weight and local models could challenge their business models.

We also look at real AI risks, questions about independent evaluations, and why an AI bubble bursting could hurt far more than tech companies. Some of these connections are speculation, not proven facts, but they're worth examining alongside the doom-and-gloom headlines.

Do you think AI regulation will protect users or protect the biggest companies? Let me know in
the comments.
