The feeling I often get when I talk to people about AI is that there is a train coming towards them, and they’re covering their eyes and saying “what train?”
I’m not interested in apologizing for the train, I’m interested in getting them to understand that it’s there

there's a disjuncture too between "open source AI hacker on bluesky" and "big AI company." the former are enthusiasts that have vastly different personalities and lifestyles than the kind of institutionalized personality the latter has
I say this as someone whose entire job is finding the narrow use cases in which AI is actually useful:
All the fear about AI, all the reluctance to adopt it, is entirely legitimate, and a product of the fact that it's been foisted on the public with no consideration of its negative externalities.

how is this sentiment any different from people who talk about immigrants stealing their jobs or computers or Asians or whatever? yeah, there’s often a blowback to new market conditions and technological innovation that imo you absolutely cannot attribute to a right or left political axis.
"This technology will destroy all your jobs and render you useless to society. You should adopt it today, and subscribe to our product so we can make more money!"
Not a strong pitch, one could say.

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*
