  • This week someone made the case to me that AI will be like nuclear energy.
    • They pointed out that nuclear energy could have been nearly limitless energy, but public pushback and fear constrained it and we never invested enough to solve the safety problems.
    • They predicted AI would be the same way.
    • Nearly limitless potential, but public pushback will constrain it.
    • Safety concerns, but also general pushback against the tech broligarchs.
