AI Runs on Hype and a Prayer, Says the Guy Who Called It
Copyable tech, sunk economics, busted reliability, delivered with maximum I-told-you-so.
Marcus has spent years as the sober guy at the party warning everyone the punch is spiked, and lately the room got quiet enough to hear him over the EDM. He argues every supposed advantage your fucking AI holds gets cloned within months, the economics stay underwater like a mob informant in a barrel, and the reliability failures are baked into the recipe rather than bolted on by accident. The collapse he sketches arrives the way bankruptcy does, gradually and then all at fucking once. Marcus lays out the slow collapse on Substack.
