The AI Doomsday Theory Explained, Miro's $1.36B Sale & Creator Lowballing (Ep. 77)
What does the AI doomsday theory actually say? This week, Tas and Tim recap the scenarios behind the panic: loss of control, human misuse, bioweapons, nuclear war, missing safeguards, and why OpenAI and Anthropic are still building while warning everyone else to slow down. Then they get into Bending Spoons buying Miro for $1.36B after already buying Airtable, and what happens when beloved B2B tools get scooped up at a fraction of their peak valuations. Plus: the creator rate-card fight, brands lowballing influencers, why “we have other creators” can backfire, one truly cursed AI cold email, and LinkedIn math that refuses to math. If you’ve got a take, drop it in the comments or send this to someone who needs it.
