The tech elite in Silicon Valley are racing against the clock. They see AI advancing at breakneck speed, and a growing worry keeps them up at night: what happens to wealth when artificial intelligence automates away the very source of value creation? There's a palpable sense that this might be the final window—maybe the last real opportunity to lock in generational riches before the entire economic landscape shifts. Once AI commoditizes human labor and disrupts traditional wealth-building mechanisms, they fear money itself could lose meaning. It's a peculiar form of existential dread mixed with entrepreneurial urgency: accumulate now or risk obsolescence later.

Basically, it's just fear that money will lose its value, so you have to seize the opportunity to make a crazy profit now.

Ha, basically it's just being afraid of being counterattacked by the things you created.

Hmm... these people are crazy, really. Afraid that money will lose its value, they instead become even more frantic in raising funds, which is a self-fulfilling prophecy haha

nah this is just cope. they're not worried about ai breaking wealth—they're worried about *losing control*. when you can't gatekeep the means of production anymore, suddenly everyone's talking about "obsolescence." funny how that works.
