in views towards AI.
Yeah.
And you don't have to really try to figure out why, right?
The internet and the digital economy promised to make everyone's lives better, and a lot of lives got better, but if you live in the Rust Belt, or if you live in a city that was forgotten in the digital economy, you're going to look at this with an enormous amount of skepticism and trepidation.
Moreover, if you're a young person,
and you were told that the world would continue to get better, and instead you were fed unmetered pornography, gambling, comparison, violence, outrage, right?
Jonathan Haidt writes about all this in The Anxious Generation, and you observed that housing, healthcare, and education have gotten 280% more expensive over the last 30 years, you're gonna look at AI and go, great, a whole lot more of that garbage
And so we sit in this incredible moment where humans have this incredibly proud relationship with technology.
For so much of our history, the history of human progress has been told as the history of technology.
Outside of the good guys winning the important wars, everything we celebrate is us discovering something, basically.
You don't hate air conditioning.
You don't hate electricity.
You don't hate refrigeration.
You don't hate antibiotics or planes, trains, and automobiles.
You hate your relationship with the screen, often.
And you hate the fact that technology has not made housing, healthcare, and education less expensive over the last 30 years.
And so many people look at this moment with AI and they go, cool, the tech giants are going to make my life worse.
as they did for the last 30 years.
And the best comparison and the reason why not everyone hates AI, you go to China, 80% of Chinese people believe that AI is going to be better for them or make their lives better.
And you don't have to do a lot of research to figure out why.
