It's not like something you can vote on.

It's not democratically governed.

And when people are really nihilistic and very distrustful of these companies, which is how a lot of folks feel,

they are going to go for things like grassroots protests or even in the extreme cases, political violence.

And so that's one of the things that I notice when I see more incidents of violence, whether it's against healthcare executives or AI executives.

It's people saying, I don't like the way our healthcare system works.

I don't like the way that AI is affecting my life.

And I have no idea what to do about it.

And I feel like I have nothing to lose anyway because I feel very bleak about the future.

And so I might as well shoot someone.

I think that's really scary.

No.

The thing is, he, A, changes messaging after the New York Times criminal underclass piece.

I think it was pretty clearly responsive to that.

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.
