Even the Austinites are rebelling

Ted Gioia is enough of an insider that he gets invited to their events. He reports that even the wild-eyed Innovative Disruptors at the annual Austin SXSW thing are tired of AI. When a speaker spewed the standard Effective Altruism pitch for AI, promising to enrich the rich and cull the Negative Externalities more effectively than any previous altruism, the audience booed.

I’d say the Foy Rebellion is well underway now.

THANKS, POWELL!

HOORAY!

[Later: I guess Gioia wasn’t there, but he is an insider and his judgments about the tech world are based on long experience.]
