Axios: The AI perception bubble.

· Bits and Bobs 8/17/26
  • Axios: The AI perception bubble.
    • Tech people keep getting more bullish on AI, and the rest of the population isn't having that experience, and so the divide is growing.
    • The normal population's reaction isn't "what are the tech guys seeing that I'm not seeing" but as more evidence of "the tech bros are trying to jam stuff that benefits them down our throats."
    • Starting off from a place of distrust, breeds even more distrust in ambiguity.
    • AI is absurdly powerful, but the general populace is distrustful of it due to earned distrust of the tech broligarchs (and by extension the whole industry).
