Even if not a guise but actually true, it's probably a bad idea for a car manufacturer to get into the auto-drive business because they are very different kinds of endeavors. Those who try to be both hardware and bot-software keep choking, including Tesla and Apple. If the top players choke at it, then a second-string like Volvo is more likely to win the lottery while getting struck by lightning while chewing gum on a unicycle than succeed.

Let bot co's build bots and car builders build cars. Instead Volvo should work to form industry standards so that a bot-kit can snapped into a physical car when ready, hedging their bot options.

People who were happy to purchase "Bob's Research Digest & Ocean Cruise Guide" from Mr. Trenchcoat probably won't care if AI stuffs it with yet more riff-raff "research" because they probably didn't care before.

Something tells me they are buying scientific-sounding "justifications" for something else dodgy rather than genuine knowledge. RFK Jr's group is an example candidate to claim Tums causes autism or whatnot. Real journals vet submitters.

There are only 3 viable x86 makers: Zhaoxin, Intel, and AMD. AMD also has a lot tied up in AI, so they'd take a big hit when the bubble poppage is "official". Zhaoxin is too small to matter much. Thus, Intel's minimal exposure to AI will help it survive the bubble better.

x86 chips are still a staple of almost every business. Investors love staples during bubble slumps.

Students at a prestigious business school (where they are trained to make successful businesses) are more likely to focus on their business's wellfare than on what's fair ... and in other news, water is wet.

People likely to succeed in managing a business will be low in trait agreeableness. This is well known and has been known for years.

Despite the apparent implication of "disagreeable" people being bad, it means that such people are more focused on themselves, unlikely to be swayed by the opinions of others, and more self serving. It's a trait that allows businesses to succeed, by having the owner focus on the success goals of the business instead of the success goals of other people.

Contrast with high agreeableness, where the person is more externally focused. Psychologists and nurses would typically be high agreeableness.

Everyone has an agreeableness score, and it's a bell curve. The fact that there are people who aren't "fair" is compensated by people who are exceptionally giving.
