TREE NEWS reports: Investor Michael Burry criticized OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs for calling on the industry to slow AI development, saying the stance is self-serving. Burry gave four reasons: large language models are not true AI, the calls protect incumbents’ interests, they build hype ahead of IPOs, and they mask weakening growth. He said the push to slow down hides an uncontrollable industry slowdown and delayed listing plans.
Michael Burry Blasts OpenAI, Anthropic CEOs Over Calls to Slow AI Development
Burry's critique reframes the AI safety debate as a competitive moat, arguing that incumbents benefit when development slows. That matters for the wider sector because it questions whether public calls for caution are credible signals or positioning ahead of listings. The tension between safety rhetoric and commercial incentives is worth watching, particularly whether other prominent figures echo or rebut his claim that an industry slowdown is already underway.
