B, if you read his tweets closely, he says in the second tweet, he's like, I think people will be more fulfilled than ever, but we're going to have some painful transitions along the way.
And that's the thing that really bothers me.
It's what they all say.
It's they say that in the future, 20 years, 50 years, whatever down the line, we're gonna have this amazing utopia where AI does all the work, all the diseases are cured, consumer goods are really cheap, housing's cheap, whatever's cheap, and life is gonna be perfect.
But they all talk about this transition period where it's kind of a euphemism.
They'll say it really quickly like, yeah, there'll be a bit of transitional friction, but it's gonna be okay.
And what do people hear?
What do they mean by transitional friction?
What they do mean is that if you are a current worker, not somebody 50 years in the future,
If you work as an illustrator or a copywriter or a young software engineer, you are kind of screwed.
And so even in Sam's new sort of approach to this, he's still admitting that a lot of people working right now are going to be screwed over on the way to the utopia.
And so when people hear that, they're like, man, I don't want to be screwed over.
Yeah, I mean, so the reason I wrote this New York Times opinion piece was in large part that I felt like people were saying things behind closed doors.
that they were not willing to say on the record.
And I felt like because I had at least heard some of these conversations and I was aware of the sentiment, I could piece it together and sort of lay out a case with publicly available information and a couple anonymous quotes as to what people really expected.
And even when I was reporting the article, I noticed this happen where there might be a person who I talked to just as part of my normal life living in San Francisco.
We just chat about AI and they'd say something like, yeah, I think the median person is screwed.
I don't know what I would do if I was 17 and I didn't have a lot of money.
I don't think I could go to college.
I have no idea.
