"AI MUST DIE" · is a short zine that presents critical perspectives on the way that AI is talked about, governed, and owned in 2025.
reshared this
The image is a book cover with a photograph and text. The title of the book is “AI MUST DIE” in large, bold, black letters on a white background. Below the title is the subtitle “Critical Perspectives on the State of Artificial Intelligence” in smaller, black font.
The photograph depicts a robotic device, resembling a floating, cylindrical sensor, partially submerged in a water fountain. There are people visible in the background, near a tan building with columns. The fountain has green plants surrounding it, and the water appears murky.
At the bottom of the cover is text reading “Incident 68: Security Robot Drowns Itself in a Fountain” followed by “AI Incident Database” and the URL “incidentdatabase.ai”.

Ruchir Sharma (Rockefeller Int.) offers four 'O's of a bubble:
Over-valuation - i.e are the 'bubble' stocks valued at over double the rest of the marker for shares?
Over-ownership - is everyone trying to buy these 'booming' shares?
Over-investment - do the returns on investment in the medium term look plausible?
Over-leverage - is much of the booming sector reliant on high debt ratios (see earlier post on Credit Default Swaps)?
Sharma say yes to all four & sees an AI bubble!
