Posted 2026-09-01 and at 754 Hacker News points, Luu takes the most widely cited AI skeptic and checks his published predictions against outcomes, presenting the financial claims in tables rather than in prose. He discloses his own priors up front, which is the part that makes it usable as a reference rather than a counter-polemic. Worth reading as a calibration exercise for anyone budgeting around either the boom or the bust narrative.
