It's been said plenty of times but it's really hard to overstate would corny losers these guys all are. "What would you do with a billion dollars?"

Just saw Zootopia 2 with the kid and really speaks to society at large that in the movie there’s a conspiracy theorist podcaster AND a shadowy cabal controlling elected officials.

How much of AI adoption is driven by a cultural shift towards people feeling like something is only worth doing if they are masters at it instead of the idea of doing something just because you like it?
