I think the main thing I got completely wrong was how tech would impact people's lives. I was so optimistic 10-15 years ago. I thought the internet was genuinely going to connect to the world. I thought the world would grow so small that national conflicts and rivalries would seem silly. I also thought people would want freedom. It really shocked me when people started to be deplatformed around 2016. But more than the deplatforming itself the silence and lack of outrage was the thing that shocked me the most. I think really the only thing I kinda got right was the growth of AI. Around 2012 through 2015 there were decent number of AI breakthroughs happening. I had a bet around this time with a friend who was a machine vision researcher that by 2030 people would have started losing their jobs on mass to AI. I may still be a little early on that, but right now we're definitely ahead of my expectations in many ways
