alt Hacker NewsThe other big worry is, what if it just doesn't do what is promised and these trillions of dollars that were spent assuming magic would happen were all for nothing?

Honestly? That's the best case scenario for humanity.
When AI can replace knowledge-based work, capital has no need for humans anymore. That's almost an ELE.
I don't see what the big worry is unless you're heavily invested. Plenty of investments go bust.
