Listen to Mind Over Mountain every Thursday on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

You know, here's the thing that I think we're in this like, I mean, I made a video about this a year ago, but I think we're just going to see escalating political violence across the board.

Obviously, the CEO of a health care company, aka an insurance for profit insurance company is radically different.

But I do think that like,

You know, when you look at somebody like Luigi Mangione's Twitter feed and the ideology that he ascribed to this idea of like high agency, like, you know, cutting back from technology, not taking, not allowing technology to, you know, dominate you.

This is a pervasive belief across society.

We're seeing this huge tech lash.

I think feed people into like kind of

taking steps outside the system.

And I think that like as AI, as Natasha said, these CEOs, no one has done a better job to scare people than the CEOs themselves of these companies.

And I think that, I just think this is the beginning of like a quite radical anti-tech movement

movement that when you say that it sounds like you're saying like agreeing with these ai people but i don't i think that they're being babies about some of it but i do think that like there is concern and they're telling employees at open ai i guess to like hide their badges before they leave the building like i i you know no if i i have a feeling we'll be we'll be coming back to this story uh quite often on okay i agree it feels like there's a there's a wave brewing here but we'll get into the main the main show now

Yeah, I mean, I agree with Kyle and Natasha.

I think these, like, I mean, it's interesting to see, like, the types of marketing.

I covered Tinder versus Bumble a lot in the 2010s.

literally it was like the thing is is like tinder was first to market it grew exponentially it was like a game changer category defining product like it became synonymous with online dating much in the way that chat gpt has come sort of become synonymous with llms um and then bumble came in and was able to overtake them in part by um you know positioning themselves as this like safety first alternative and they would do things like roll things out like oh

well, we rolled out this feature for safety or whatever.

And you talk to people in the dating app and they're like, well, you know, all the match group things have like, that's not necessarily making users safer, whatever.

But, um, you know, with this case, as Natasha was saying too, and Kyle, like there are legitimate security concerns.

I don't doubt that.
