are worried that normal people are worried.
Maybe we get super intelligence and it can achieve all these amazing things, but I'm not going to get it.
Maybe my boss is going to get the super intelligence and they're going to automate my job as a worker, as a consumer.
I'm not going to be able to do the same thing.

and the U.S.
government that are going to have access to frontier AI and all the benefits that it confers.
I was super interested in this question on this trip because I was finishing my times piece on the permanent underclass while in China.
And so I was basically asking everyone I met there, whether it was engineers at the labs or just my family members or sort of normal middle class people in Shanghai, are people worried about AI and jobs?
Are people worried about AI and social instability?

The information environment in China is obviously suppressed.
You can't dissent in public on social media nearly as much as you can in the U.S.

Some people say that China is more techno-optimistic than the U.S.
is.
