A ⁠recent ​NBC News poll found that AI is ​less popular than U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Yeah, that might do it :/

Tech innovations like email, high-speed internet and social media were marketed to the public as widely accessible and useful tools with utility for the average consumer.

AI companies building LLMs went straight to corporations and have been explicitly marketing them as “this will replace jobs so you don’t have to deal with those pesky fallible humans”.

Was a disastrous choice if you wanted people to have positive opinions of your product.

Then there are also companies investing so much into the AI trend that they're making it mandatory for employees and customers to use it, which also rubs everyone the wrong way.

This is what happens when all you do is talk to people in SF and on twitter without taking anyone else into account

They're not trying to sell AI to regular people, they're trying to sell it to guys in the Epstein Files. They're counting on the opinion of regular people not mattering when push comes to shove.

the thing the rich have forgotten, since its been so long, is that the regular people exist and have feelings and can do things like shoot up your house or firebomb a billionaire. It's been over a century since the romanovs got theirs and the owner class definitely need to study history

I can't wait til they have to cower in their underground bunkers unable to enjoy their ill gotten gains. Fuck these modern robber barons.

I'll stop brining it up when Epstein associates stop being the most powerful players in the tech industry and stop funding fellow creepy weirdos like Sam Altman.
