At this point Burry must be paid by somebody with a deep interest in having US AI infrastructure gloriously fucked. He is way more engaged and coordinated than usual. Probably just a coincidence but boy I am feeling something odd. I am a complete nobody so probably nothing there.

@ChrisDMacro Hi Chris. Would it be a mistake in your opinion to think that this will need higher oil prices for longer? Eventually as all the new project will be on line but to actually get to that point higher prices are needed?
Following the ongoing situation in Iran, I am convening a special Security College on Monday.
For regional security and stability, it is of the utmost importance that there is no further escalation through Iran’s unjustified attacks on partners in the region.
as of this writing claude is now #2 in the app store & there’s a real non trivial downside scenario here for openai that many aren’t really grasping.
it’s low prob but structurally interesting. lemme explain.
if a clean meme forms on tiktok & instagram tying openai to the department of war, & that framing hits mainstream liberal users, the reaction won’t be analytical, it’ll be fucking visceral.
most ppl won’t parse contract scope, defensive use cases, or historical precedent. they’ll respond to timing & symbolism. & if this perception hardens, the competitive alternative becomes emotionally obvious. an association that feels morally dissonant could trigger switching behavior, employee discomfort, media amplification, & even long tail brand drift.
i’m not even arguing companies shouldn’t work with the war dept. that’s not the point.
the point is that in a memetic environment, perception compounds faster than facts.
& if that perception locks in among a politically concentrated user base, the second & third order effects on consumer ai could be far more significant than most people expect. again low probability cuz switching is hard but damn if they haven’t opened a can of worms.
