Why are the CEOs of the world's biggest AI companies telling you their product might destroy humanity? 🤯 We investigate the "AI Paradox": a marketing strategy where selling Hype (it's magic) and selling Hate (it's a nuclear weapon) serves the exact same goal: Profit.

1. The "Doomer" Marketing Strategy: We expose how leaders like Sam Altman use "existential risk" narratives not just as a warning, but as a PR tactic to inflate valuation. By claiming their tech is "dangerously powerful," they differentiate it from competitors and generate massive media attention, effectively selling the "virus" to prove they are the only ones capable of building the "cure".

2. Regulatory Capture: We break down the concept of Regulatory Moats. By demanding strict government regulation for "frontier models," incumbents like OpenAI and Google effectively pull up the ladder behind them, making it impossible for open-source or smaller startups to compete due to compliance costs. The "fear" is a tool to lock in a monopoly.

3. The Attention Economy: We analyze how algorithms prioritize alarmist content, meaning that "calm, data-driven takes" never go viral. Tech giants have learned that "There is no bad PR," and that terrifying the public is the fastest way to ensure their product is perceived as inevitable and essential.
