OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has warned that the artificial intelligence industry is already showing signs of a bubble. Speaking to reporters, he admitted that investors appear “overexcited” about AI, while still calling it the most important technological development in decades. He compared the current atmosphere to the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s, when internet-driven hype led to massive valuations before many companies collapsed, wiping out nearly 80% of the Nasdaq’s value between 2000 and 2002.

Altman’s comments echo growing concerns from other financial leaders who see AI investment accelerating at an unsustainable pace. Alibaba co-founder Joe Tsai, Bridgewater Associates’ Ray Dalio, and Apollo’s chief economist Torsten Slok have all issued similar cautions. Slok even argued that today’s AI boom is more inflated than the 1990s internet craze, with top companies in the S&P 500 more overvalued now than then. While analysts like Futurum Group’s Ray Wang agree Altman raises valid points, they emphasize that the risks and outcomes may vary widely depending on the specific companies involved.

Sam Altman’s warning about an AI investment bubble should grab our attention—not just economically, but prophetically. Scripture warns that in the last days, the world will be caught up in illusions of security and prosperity before sudden collapse (1 Thessalonians 5:3). The AI gold rush mirrors past bubbles, but this one carries deeper implications: it’s not just about money—it’s about control. Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming the backbone of surveillance, commerce, and communication. A global crash in this sector could shake economies overnight, while at the same time paving the way for a centralized digital system perfectly aligned with the Beast system of Revelation 13.

While investors chase quick gains, many miss the spiritual reality: AI is more than a business trend—it’s a tool that could be weaponized for deception and domination. As nations pour billions into AI, the infrastructure for global monitoring, digital currencies, and even manipulation of truth is being laid at lightning speed. For Watchers and Warriors, Altman’s words are a reminder that the world’s foundations are fragile. What looks like technological progress may, in fact, be conditioning the world for the Antichrist’s rise. Stay alert, because this isn’t just economics—it’s prophecy unfolding before our eyes.

Stay Awake. Keep Watch.
