On the other hand, the #IMF making such comments is a bit of a deal.
The reason why the IMF has waited so long before commenting is probably as the IMF will now get the blame when the #AI House of Cards finally collapses.

@the_wub @skull @GossiTheDog we are violently agreeing, though I think the IMF is a complicated institution, doing both good and bad, often by going with the trendy econ theory of the moment. But if national leaders weren't so often shit we wouldn't need such a thing, a bog standard bond invested disaster fund would be sufficient. But the transnational orgs are also indispensable boogy men for shitty populists.
