I mean, even the Zucc has said it. The only "important" one to keep up the denial charade seems to be Scam Altman as well as the usual LinkedIn marketing goons.

And the sleep polls Dec 1, 2025

We need another sleep poll, I protest! Re. the AI bubble, keep them coming, this is the 10th one. Did the AI poll prompt machine get broken?
