A warning for what’s coming.
I thought I’d do a little warning about this, because some of you might not know what most people actually think about AI.
Maybe you're just in a little bubble.
I certainly was for a long time.
Until I went and looked at Reddit, and I noticed that yeah, some people on Reddit like AI, whatever, they’re just normal people.
Some people absolutely hate AI.
And they don’t just hate AI.
They hate the people who make it.
They hate everyone who has anything to do with AI.
Even if you just use it to generate a little drawing, they’ll get in a hissy fit, start freaking out, just going crazy.
And what really got me concerned is this:
The other day, Sam Altman — the CEO of OpenAI — had his house attacked.
Not once.
Twice.
One time with a Molotov cocktail.
And another time where someone drove by and fired a gun at his house.
Luckily, no one was hurt.
But that’s not even the scary part.
There are always crazy people.
That’s not new.
The way you tell if something is actually bad…
Is how people react to it.
If someone tries to attack someone like that, and people say:
“I don’t like AI, I don’t like him, but that’s wrong.”
Okay.
That’s normal.
But that’s not what happened.
People were celebrating it.
People were joking about it.
People were saying things like “are the bullets okay?”
People openly talking about wanting him dead.
That’s what should concern you.
Now why does this matter for you?
Because you might want to think twice about how openly you talk about AI.
Maybe you’re talking about it with your friends.
Maybe you’re posting about it.
But not everyone sees it the same way you do.
And I don’t know where this goes.
But throughout history…
When people get emotional like this about something…
It usually doesn’t end well.
So just be careful.
I’m not saying stop using AI.
I’m not saying stop talking about it completely.
But be aware of how people feel about it.
And don’t be naive about it.
