    Right most people I meet day to day are maybe a bit interested but don’t care much.

    To me this is a chicken vs egg situation. I think a lot of people see this as the media responding to people.

    I think it’s the other way around and I’m trying to understand why. To me, it looks certain that the media is agenda setting with AI. I watched this with the war on terror, anti immigration views, Ebola, imaginary waves of crime that never existed. I can see the headlines, the tone, the framing are all so similar. I just don’t understand why. It’s a powerful tool, my default opinion is always that this technology does balance some power in society and so by keeping it as a tool of the rich while the rest reject it is important culturally.
