The New Republic | The AI Industry Is Discovering That the Public Hates It by Luke Barnes
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The article describes a rapidly growing public backlash against artificial‑intelligence technology, illustrated by recent politically motivated attacks on AI leaders and a wave of negative sentiment revealed in surveys—only about a quarter of Americans view AI’s impact on jobs and the economy positively, while Gen Z enthusiasm has fallen sharply. It argues that this hostility stems from the AI industry's tone‑deaf messaging, which swings between doomsday warnings and promises of massive productivity gains that empirical studies have largely failed to deliver, while demanding billions in investment and expanding data‑center footprints that raise local electricity costs. Although firms such as OpenAI and Microsoft have issued policy papers and community‑focused initiatives, the piece contends these promises lack independent accountability and often conflict with actions that protect corporate interests. To restore trust, the author calls for genuine transparency, meaningful regulation, and democratic input on data‑center development rather than further white papers or rhetoric.

On one occasion, Graham told Y.C. colleagues that, prior to his removal, “Sam had been lying to us all the time.”
YC founders deceived …
““Guys, I’ve had enough,” Musk replied. “Either go do something on your own or continue with OpenAI as a nonprofit”—otherwise “I’m just being a fool who is essentially providing free funding for you to create a startup.” He quit, acrimoniously, five months later.”
Mini Oligarchs ripping off Oligarchs …
“Carroll Wainwright, another researcher, said that they were part of a “continual slide toward emphasizing #products over #safety.” After the release of #GPT-4, Leike e-mailed members of the board. “OpenAI has been going off the rails on its mission,” he wrote. “We are prioritizing the product and #revenue above all else, followed by AI capabilities, research and scaling, with alignment and safety coming third.” He continued, “Other companies like Google are learning that they should deploy faster and ignore safety problems.”
Profit over safety …
