Cognitive scientist Gary Marcus warns that the collapse of major AI firms like OpenAI could trigger broader financial contagion, comparing it to the 2008 global financial crisis. He criticizes OpenAI's and Anthropic's high expenditures and speculative valuations, suggesting that Microsoft might acquire OpenAI at a discounted price. Marcus argues that current AI systems are unsafe and that widespread deployment of personal AI agents risks accelerating societal disruption.
