Not only do we not care about it, we actively hate it.
Are we considered "normal people" though?
I think Ai hate might be the single most unifying position in the west right now.
I don't think so. No average blue collar worker I know hates AI. They think its a fun, free toy.
Who's houses are the datacenters being built next to?
If you want to get mad about possible plans that have not yet been made, you need the increasingly rare gift of foresight
This post has 255 upvotes. That’s basically nobody when you’re talking about what is normal.
Here on social media we get to ensure that we only associate with other "normal" people. By our definition of "normal."
And then we get shocked when we discover that large numbers of people out there are not, in fact, "normal." Often when an election happens.
I often wonder as well because being a news reader makes me assume others are also following the news more closely than myself. When I test this theory by talking to people around me, I learn that maybe I’m more alone than I thought.
At least with social media I get to follow the news with all of you, my fellow nerds
One of us! One of us! One of us!
Gabba gabba hey!
Quite a few of the people I know and consider “normal” openly dislike AI.
I’m not sure it’s a majority opinion buts it’s not an obscure one.
I have at least one head, so I'm normal. You?
