Like, HAAAAATE.<br/>And this sentiment does not change when folks &#39;get used to&#39; AI. In fact, distrust has increased despite everyone using it. <br/><br/>They absolutely distrust AI boosters. No one believes the hype and an overwhelming majority believe this shit is bad -- because of personal experience of harm or they know someone who has been harmed.<br/><br/>People want AI *punished* they hate it so much. (This is me editorializing.)<br/><br/>And they want someone to wrap some chains around AI before it&#39;s too late. #RegulateAI <br/><br/>Duuuuude. Faaascinating.<br/>Full report drops next week.<br/><br/><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lKvEjvDK_zwIvGDdCdL8d74ov5eVFqkm/view?pli=1">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lKvEjvDK_zwIvGDdCdL8d74ov5eVFqkm/view?pli=1</a> 2026-08-14T02:33:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvlgtfl9j3478ga62k2yuyl8v6dq8j69hyjnx6dvhxdjeglz84g4qzyqqja9eekgzkrgpg52rshxh2wdhns0s5yuc3r9wxk68j3p66pk9kqm8nd6n Remember that weird ass Politico poll last week asking folks what they thought about just throwing Black folks&#39; votes under a bus?<br/><br/>A piece of anecdata:<br/><br/>Political consultant: [sharing tea after our zoom ended] So I was in a meeting last week and I need help processing it.<br/>Me: I&#39;m here.<br/><br/>Her: DNC consultants are telling candidates to avoid talking about Black voters having their representation snatched away.<br/>Me: Shut the fuck up.<br/><br/>Her: Yep. The Dems only want folks to talk about the price of gas and affordability.<br/>Me: Those fuckers. They don&#39;t want to win ever again, do they?<br/><br/>Her: Nope. I pressed the consultant. Maybe that&#39;s a bad strategy, maybe that&#39;s not the way to go. And you know what he said?<br/>Me: What?<br/><br/>Her: He said, Look at me. Look at my billables. I&#39;m doing fine.<br/>Me: ASSHOLES.<br/><br/>That&#39;s the party, y&#39;all.<br/>That&#39;s the Blue Wave that&#39;s supposed to save us.<br/><br/>That poll doesnt look so weird now. It looks like a fucking test balloon. 2026-05-20T23:04:29Z
