    While I grant these things are true, there’s no way in hell multiple people aren’t trying this bet.

      “multiple people” doesn’t mean much unless it’s one of the top twenty people that own most of the stock market.

        Sure, but contrarian investment and bets are built into the system. Everyone wants to think they’re the genius.

          Right, but this is about the noteworthiness of talking about someone shorting AI. Who cares if joe schmoe from accounting shorted their six shares? It’d only be newsworthy if it’s someone with significant investment or supposed insider knowledge shorting it.
