Michael Burry has intensified his bearish stance on artificial intelligence, explicitly calling for a market crash to prevent OpenAI and Anthropic from going public. He argues that these companies would destroy trillions of dollars in investor capital if they list on public exchanges. Burry has accelerated his timeline for an AI bubble burst, shifting from a 2028 prediction to a potential collapse by mid-2026. He has replaced standard short positions with put options in Nvidia, Palantir, Micron, and the Nasdaq 100, citing unsustainable debt-fueled spending on data centers and chips. While OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously advised against a 2026 listing due to safety concerns, Anthropic is reportedly planning an IPO after the November midterm elections. Burry contends that the current AI boom relies on unproven revenues and is vulnerable to a shift in capital allocation or rising interest rates.
