Not me; I contacted my pension fund last week to move it entirely out of equities and into bonds & cash.
Which is no guarantee, but... I'm not close enough to retirement that this would normally be sensible, but I know I'm close enough that I'd never earn back the losses from the mother of all crashes that is riding into view on the back of these IPOs (and the "I can't believe it's not a crime!" changes to index rules to fast track this nonsense into trackers, guaranteeing that pension funds and the like will be left holding the bag.)
Personally I would advise keeping money out of AI just generally anyway, not on any moral principle but simply because everyone knows it's a bubble. No one wants to be left holding the bag and you could end up with a less money than you had to begin with. Over long enough time periods risky strategies like that aren't worth it.
So you might as well get out of AI in the long run it will probably save you money.
