| The industry needs messengers that can put out a positive vision that also aren’t creepy or skeezy seeming dudes. I don’t think Zuck’s WSJ manifesto convinced anyone, plus he’s a terrible messenger. |

| The industry needs to come to grips with the fact that many, many people either have no use for or actively despise GenAI. |

| ▲ | AngryData 12 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | And how has such distain for large parts of a population turned out in the past? Short term people sometimes get away with it, longer term and their society crashes when people start taking action. But it doesn't always take a long time if people are inflamed enough about an issue. | |
| ▲ | Sindisil 11 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Because the negative externalities of GenAI are great enough that the majority will soon recognize them and demand action. But I don't expect that to slow down any of the main drivers for now. Some have too much invested monetarily and emotionally, others have been caught up in the hype cycle. |

| How about concrete actions rather than marketing "visions" ? |

| ▲ | cocacola1 12 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | A nice sentiment, though I think perception of a thing ends up being more important than the specifics. No doubt the actions can be used to support the marketing vision, though. | | |
| ▲ | mindslight 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | The problem is that perception can only carry things so far. Surveillance Valley had been coasting on unjustifiable positive perceptions while continuing to build their digital cages. The jig is up, and it's a long way down. |

| > he’s a terrible messenger. I don't think it's a coincidence that terrible persons without a lot of training are also terrible messengers. |

| Non creepy people were rejected by billionaires class, they just dont fit in. And conversely, non creepy people also avoid the tech bro creepy singularity is here crowd. |
