I am not referring to tides, but to the tidal forces that generate them. Tidal forces are the result of a gradient in the field of gravity. When you are close to a black hole, the part of you that is closest, experiences a stronger force of gravity than the rest of your body. This tension rips things apart. Likewise, some parts of our civilization will be more affected by AI than others, causing change there to accelerate. This causes tension with the rest of civilization.
