There was a recent Stanford study which showed that AI enthusiasts and experts and the normies had very different sentiment when it came to AI. I think most people are going to say they dont want it. I mean, why would anyone want a tool tha

No - as a society we cannot say that its a “vast net” positive. The externalities that harm the commons are not accounted for. We (or lobbyists) resist having carbon costs included in the prices we pay at the pump. Edit: More transportation

Video games are incredible for the kinds of mini experiments and insights on human nature they throw up. Player driven economies are a case in point. Everyone joins the game at the same level, and same handicap. Yet you end up with the same
