Astrid Stawiarz Michael Burry renewed his criticism of the AI boom, warning that planned public listings by Anthropic (ANTHRO [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ANTHRO]) and OpenAI (OPENAI [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/OPENAI]) could expose markets to massive capital losses. “For the benefit of humanity, the markets should tank hard and prevent the OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs,” Burry wrote [https://x.com/michaeljburry/status/2104993767623114798?s=20]on X as President Donald Trump hosted AI executives at the White House Tuesday to discuss voluntary industry self-regulation. “These are companies that are going suck up and then destroy TRILLIONS of dollars of capital, and that will be the least of the damage they do,” Burry said in a separate comment.
