Michael Burry Sounds the Alarm on A.I. Bubble, Launches Substack to Share Insights
Michael Burry, the renowned investor who predicted the 2008 housing crash, is warning of an emerging market bubble in the A.I. sector. The hedge fund manager, who rose to fame after his successful bet against the subprime mortgage market, has launched a Substack newsletter to share his bearish views on the technology. The newsletter, titled “Cassandra Unchained,” has already gained over 35,000 subscribers and offers insights into the A.I. market for $379 annually or $39 per month.

Parallels to the Dot-Com Crash
Burry’s first post on Substack draws parallels between the lead-up to the dot-com crash of the early 2000s and today’s A.I. boom. He compares Nvidia, which recently became the first company to reach $5 trillion in market cap, to Cisco, the tech company whose stock soared and then collapsed during the dot-com era. Burry also cites former Federal Reserve chair Alan Greenspan, who assured investors in 2005 that a housing bubble “does not appear likely,” and current Fed chair Jerome Powell, who has described A.I. companies as “profitable” and “different” from previous speculative manias.
Burry’s warnings about the A.I. market have sparked fresh attention online, with his hedge fund, Scion Asset Management, disclosing a short bet worth over $1 billion against Nvidia and Palantir, another hot A.I. stock. Although Burry closed his hedge fund and returned capital to investors, he continues to share his insights through his Substack newsletter, which promises to deliver one to two posts a week, along with occasional Q&As, videos, and guest contributions.
A Mixed Track Record
While Burry’s prediction of the 2008 housing crash earned him $100 million personally and over $700 million for his clients, his recent market calls have not always been accurate. However, his latest warnings about the A.I. bubble have resonated with many, and his Substack newsletter offers a unique opportunity for readers to gain insights from an experienced investor. As Burry himself notes, “I am not retired. There is still nothing I enjoy more than analyzing companies and markets each and every day.”
For those interested in learning more about Burry’s views on the A.I. market and his investment strategies, his Substack newsletter is available for subscription. With his reputation as a savvy investor and his willingness to share his insights freely, Burry’s newsletter is sure to attract attention from investors and market watchers alike.
