Silicon Valley’s Titans Are Realizing a Lot of People Don’t Like Them
In this case in particular, it&#x27;s because we all know that Silicon Valley is filled with Cryptocoin Bros and Libertarians.<p>Who all of a sudden, in less than 24 hours into a crisis, came crying to FDIC for a bailout on bank deposits of size $100+ Million.<p>You know, after telling millions of artists that AI is here to replace them and that government regulation is dumb. (Disruption of Taxis and Hotels through Uber and AirBnB, etc. Etc)<p>-------<p>I&#x27;m not really an AI Luddite (I think ChatGPT is overrated and think that StableDiffusion is cool). But I understand that the Silicon Valley response to the public&#x27;s concerns over AI, invasion of privacy, over-the-top Libertarian &#x2F; antigovernment rants (see Cryptocoin Bros)... It is a delicious irony that it&#x27;s this group begging for money.<p>Anyway, I agree with some of the political discussion points of the stereotypical Silicon Valley techbro, and I disagree with others. But I think everyone can agree that what happened this past weekend was completely against those political discussion points we&#x27;ve heard for the past decade.
