There's polling that finds an increasing number of Americans are more concerned than excited about AI.

You've got people getting booed for mentioning AI at college commencements this past weekend.

What would you say to voters who are furious at Silicon Valley because certain tech CEOs got fabulously wealthy while they did not?

The news media got hollowed out.

They feel like harms were done by social media.

And now it just feels like the same companies, the same people, they're getting to run it back with AI, which we're all told is this unbelievably powerful step change new thing.

And I don't trust those people.

I don't trust Elon or Mark Zuckerberg or Sam Altman to be in charge of it.

Some people want to pause on building those.

Is that too far for you?

I reject that.

The David Sachs approach.

We're laissez-faire until Silicon Valley Bank is going to collapse.

And then we're screaming for corporate welfare.

What's your AI drug of choice?

Are you a Grok guy, Claude, ChatGPT?

What are we using?

Yeah, but then it's always wrong.

You know, you're just getting bullshit from that thing.

Yeah, I'm a Claude guy these days.
