Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

And they're working very closely together to do what they're going to do regardless of sort of popular will.

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

and you have all these efforts to overturn local laws and things like that, then yeah, it does start to be this period where people look at that and say, well, what can I do, right?

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

What can I do?

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

What are the options for me on the table?

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

I voted.

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

I told my council member, don't vote for this.

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

A hundred people showed up at this event and said, please don't vote for this.

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

And they did it anyways because the industry convinced them or they thought it was the right thing to do.

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

They hate it because they're looking at the headlines and it's saying, this is the worst job market for entry-level jobs in 37 years.

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

AI has taken all the jobs.

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

So yeah, what are you going to do?

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

Are you just going to kind of sit down and say, well, I guess I don't get a job.

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

I guess the data center is going to, you know, get put up in my backyard.

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

So in this sense, I feel like the industry, politicians, everybody should be paying close attention to those very genuine and very honest

Prof G Markets
Violent Backlash: What the Sam Altman Attacks Signal for AI

rational feelings of aggrievement over what's happening and what's happening to their futures too.
