It doesn't help that AI "thought leaders" can't articulate a vision by which our lives will improve rather than be made worse.

It looks like:

1. They take billions in investment

2. They spend trillions

3. They and their investors profit in the quadrillions from all the "labor saving"

4. ???

5. Everyone's needs are met.

It is just obnoxious the gap between thought leaders and everyone else.

I was at a panel last week. The most pro-AI person was an account executive from a big fintech company.

EVERYONE else - a data scientist that works in AI, regulatory compliance, cybersec, and marketing, took the position of "hey this is great and will change things, but let's pump the brakes... a lot."

Random people cure cancer for their dog, every business can vibe code an app to make their operations more efficient, anyone can launch a business with 10% of the effort it used to take.

The AI companies are only capturing like 5% of the value produced with this tech right now.
