The AI bubble is expanding very fast. E.g., Thinking Machines by ex OpenAI CTO Murati and his four dozens of employees, is now near funding at 1 billion USD per employee.

At this rate, it's unlikely the bubble will last until reality (possibly) catches up. This begs important questions:

• Would an AI bubble burst would be a good opportunity to double down on safety and reset AI budgeting?
• Will the US economy survive a burst?
• How does this affect China's strategy?
• Should safety people secure funding now?
